Artists on Central

STATEMENT:
My inspiration is rooted in images of everyday life. When I look at the ground or
a stain on the wall, I see colorful visions of rivers, forests, cities, clouds, and a host
of other objects, ideas, or settings. My creativity is not a product of logical thought
even though the final photo is tied to a logical structure. I want to change the way
others perceive the everyday world by stimulating their imaginations through my
photographs. I view photography as an art form.
