Artist Statement

I want to provoke peace, love and light in all those who view my work. The opportunity to share my art with the world is the greatest gift ever bestowed upon me. I believe we learn about other cultures through film, art and music. I feel fortunate to have the ability to express myself in this medium to the wider diaspora.
