“I was once asked, “How does what I create, make me feel?” While I could say, “Many things,” one word stands out against most: Joy. To me, this one word encompasses it all in each process I choose to work with. Whether it is the Joy in the colors I pick, or materials I use. While that brings me much Joy, there is none bigger than knowing that what I do, allows me to share that Joy with the viewer. Being able to engage with them allows me to interact and see the Joy they feel at seeing it. And the Joy in that alone, for me, is likened to that feeling one gets after seeing a really great movie which causes you to talk about it long after it’s over. That’s true Joy.”
