Artist's Statement
Statement of Work
When I was first asked to create 9/11 art work I was not sure I could do it. Then one day having a serious conversation about some art work I had just sold it came to me what I must do. Rushing home I could hardly contain myself with the new design and the thoughts that the work must be finished immediately. When the work was completed it was as if a stone had been lifted from my shoulders.
