philosophy: I believe I am a soul experiencing what it is to be human. That the creator, creates through me and that my art is a reflection of his inspiration. I believe that in order for an artist to grow, one must be challenged and willing to step outside the box. That one must look beyond what is presented and never take anything at face value.

 Goal: To question the illusion of life and open the eyes of the world for the possibility of infinite potential.
