The exploration of the cosmos Is a voyage of self discovery -Carl Sagan
"Through my work I try to serve the most basic function of fine art, inspiration. I am particularly interested in portraying our relationship with the universe, the human experience of becoming aware of our place and our connections to it. We live at an unparalleled time in human history, where science has allowed us to leave the cradle and confront the awesome reality of the cosmos. I wish to share this wonderment of not only the physical universe, but also those who work to unravel its mysteries."
