ARTIST STATEMENT
"It is the play of light and shadow that allows us to perceive an object's shape and size. But for me, light is more than a visual tool, it is an emotional subject. It is through the manipulation of light - how it falls, changes, sculpts, colors and creates various moods on a subject - that intrigues and inspires me."
