Artist Statement:
The more personal the issues you deal with in your art, the more universal they become. I often address human issues in my work: beauty, life, aging, and death. I also deal with social issues such as poverty, class, alienation, and violence. I find that by incorporating humor into my work such as photo montages created from my own photographs, I gain a release and an escape from the horror of the injustice that takes place in the world.
