Artist Statement
This man was a beacon of hope, perseverance, inspiration, compassion and love. He carried the torch of freedom, much like the Statue of Liberty does, for those whose oppression must be lifted, for those whose voices are silenced and must be heard, for those on whose bodies and souls cruelty has been delivered. He lives in each of us who have committed ourselves to justice and freedom for all living beings.

I am an artist, based in San Diego, California, on the southwestern-most corner of the United States. I have been working in this region for the last 40+ years. My work has ranged from the figurative and personal to the political and collaborative, from drawing to photography to painting.
