Experience
My art sparks the imagination of audiences through a unique arrangement of rhythm, texture, timing, interaction and presentation. It is a different experience without a preconceived role that is open to new interpretation and personal relevance. I seek to expand the purpose and value of art within society and to foster a new type of interaction between audience and artist. My goal is to live a diverse life style where I apply myself in many different ways. I want the sum of my artistic skills, daily efforts and life experiences to add up to a collection of art and a life story that inspires and motivates other people and society.
