ARTIST STATEMENT

My work is a diary of my everyday life and an account of the way in which my everyday life becomes my history; and it is a representation of the collective memory of generation after generation of my ancestry. I ask myself why I draw, and through my work I hope to discover the answer. Sometimes I am successful.

Just as each of our actions has a meaning, there is a reason why each of my lines and dots is created just so. My marks often employ circles and bars as metaphors for rain and water. Rain is about hope. It gives life to all creatures on Earth.
