I

came to realize later that what propelled me forward was and continues
to be a seeking spirit. There just had to be deeper meaning, something
of worth to keep me here…continuing to live and work to the best of my
ability.
In 1997 I was introduced to Nichiren Buddhism.

And so, through this practice, many of my unresolved issues began to resolve
themselves.

After deciding to give it a go, I eventually became (and still am) a devoted member of
a lay organization, SGI, which supports me in continuing my day-to-day prayers and
faith.
Faith.
This word alone defines my existence. It is by faith that I find the richer answers,
the more soothing solutions, and the extraordinary progress as an artist. It is by
faith and the relationships I now form that these current works, my masks, can be
completed.
About the Masks:
I wanted to test myself and see if I could produce masks without any training or
specific influence. I also wanted to communicate this “royal unseen” universe
through the medium of the mask. Forming a bridge between the recognizable (a
face) and the mystical.
