And, one is more as I see them.
~ For over 20 years now, I've exploited, deconstructed, and torn apart what is usually visible, and placed it ever-so-delicately ;-) upon canvas, board, and paper ... ALL, in an effort to share my vision with the world; while, at the same time, furthering my journey as an artist and human, being.
