Statement:

“Life is the most interesting picture I create every day. Drawing since I was one, I see myself as an artist and creator. I aim for constant growth, embracing risks and new directions, like icon painting. Overcoming stage 4 cancer inspired my book, ‘Everything is Simple.’ My hands create intuitively, without conscious thought. I believe my gift is meant to improve people’s lives through my art.”
