ARTIST STATEMENT
"In the Roman Catholic liturgy there is a captivating prayer which concludes: 'their unending hymn of praise.' This is, for me, the foundation of sacred art, and the reason why I do this work. I believe that sacred art beckons us into the inner, other-worldly place that God has created, and draws us more deeply into the mystery of our communal and personal relationship with Him. With each new project I strive to live these beliefs. This work is my vocation."
