MISSION STATMENT
As an artist it is my honor to exercise the unique facility that was created for me. Such an exclusive gift speaks of providing pleasure and awe to the human delight of seeing. It should be my duty to perfect and always realize the pageantry and magnificence of the endowment and happily, I am not at all restricted to the finite imitation of nature but rather, extended into the vast and unlimited inspiration of it. So through the revelations in the expressions of that end I am commissioned to construct and compose earthly deserts for both peasant and king. For success is the delight in serving. May you find joy in my labors.
