Since I have been creating sculptures it has lead me to the recognition of the unity and oneness of all things. Through the process of deep introspection, meditation and reflection, I have realized the possibility of the ultimate unification of the entire human family. I interpret and portray this realization through the fusing of one form with another, and the blending of all colors harmoniously together. I use this method of creating as an effective instrument to express an expansive and deeper reality through my art and music.
