Artist Statement

A few short years ago I said good-bye to the studio art program I had developed for the University of San Diego High School, and said hello again to the dream of creating my own work. After helping students awaken their hearts and minds to the masterworks of history, I knew it was time to allow my own heart to experience a new level of artistic expression. Each new day gives me a fresh opportunity to dream and create again....and again...and again.
