3. Artist Statement
As an artist, I seek to portray dreams and visions using traditional styles
and techniques of art, but also to combine them with experimental
techniques and styles. I create artwork based on what I’ve seen and
studied in ancient artists of Japan, contemporary artists of Europe,
and modern styles of Northern America. I apply these methods to
visions and dreams of my own, and create an art in which many can
relate to through dreams and visions of their own.
