| "Life itself, as I see it, is a wonderful challenge. I'm challenged by the the essence and beauty of the natural world, and within that realm, I see a place for me to express myself through yet another challenge...rendering my interpretation of it all through the scratchboard medium. It's within this "niche" that I feel most at peace. I want my art work to stand for something. It's my way of paying back nature for the inspiration and joy it's given to me. |
