We all have a purpose. I think mine is to paint people who impact the world in a great way. I am all about creating a better world and if I can do that with my art than I will. In this growing complex world there can be many distractions from what is important, but painting these people for me is a way to discover the world through discovering the flaws and beauty in humanity. My latest work "Celestial Symbiosis" is meant to visually portray my spiritual journey. I would like for people to be moved by these pieces and encourage you to be a bringer of light.
