From the Artist: 

Creating is a process of constant discovery.

Sometimes the image is right there, other times it is a struggle.

When the images begin to reveal themselves it becomes a collaboration between me and the work.

It is always different from my initial intent.

The most successful and exciting pieces are the ones that just happen on their own.

All I have to do is brush away the dirt and uncover what is hidden.
