Through my study of art therapy I have realized that no matter the dis-ease, what is most crucial to healing is self-awareness and self-care. When experiencing beauty in nature, in other people, or in artwork, a person also experiences their own personal beauty because it is mirrored back to them.

Too many of us go through life feeling as if we are somehow not "good enough". We are surrounded by images that reinforce that belief and images that showcase negative human experiences. The images I create are intended to be a reflection of the intrinsic goodness of the human spirit. By creating positive images and sharing them, I feel that in my own small way, I can help bring about positive change.
