Artist Statement

I stand alone: artists are dying out, replaced by the consumerist “creative entrepreneur” of the modern world. But I am not in despair, I have not lost my direction nor my ideals.

I am currently working on my sculpture series “The Moment”, and I hope to build a sculpture garden, creating a world of art.
