In many ways, the visual stories that result belong as much to the viewer as myself, and I invite you to bring your own creativity and story to each piece you see.

Work in Progress #2 - Dream Into Life (2019)
Art is like jazz improvisation, the trick is to get out of the way sufficiently to let the spirit, rhythm and inner logic of the piece reveal itself. Once that happens you're off on a journey and there's no telling where you'll end up.
