Artist Statement

 
  I am an active individual who has placed himself in the shoes of animals to feel the pain and witness the actions against them. There are many senseless and destructive acts occurring in the oceans that need to be exposed. I have been using my talent of painting to tell the stories visually and educate people who are unaware.

 Scientist have stated the oceans are going to die by 2048 if we continue on the path we have created. The oceans are exposing symptoms of being sick by the results of over-fishing, acidification, coral reef decline, debris, and over 400 dead zones that keep spreading. This is affecting all living life on the planet and can easily be changed by every individual taking responsibility for his or her actions.

 
Passion is what art is all about and my art has not only changed my life, it has helped me change the lives of many individuals and animals. The paintbrush has become my weapon in my fight to change what is wrong and expose the truth to all. Human interactions directly and/or indirectly are stressing the growth of the inhabitants of the ocean. It has made me look at all the creatures within the ocean as endangered since the ocean itself is endangered. My aim is to empower minds to make choices for the next seven generations that will force positive impacts and hopefully reverse this process.
