ARTIST STATEMENT
I work out personal and theological reflections through the process of making art.

I use a variety of mediums to explore  spiritual meanings in the Bible as means for healing, spiritual nourishment, and social and cultural engagement. 

My artworks are expressions of worship and lived-out faith.
