Artist's Statement
Art should evoke and portray the artists fibre, his struggles and his vision. It should elicit a strong emotional response from the viewer, making him consider the palette and brush with which he himself is painted.
In my work, America..etched in stone, it is America's struggle and vision effected by the 9/11 attack and the palette and brush with which America and it's people are painted, in stone.
