"I find it very important for me as an artist to paint murals and do decorative work, meet families or even talk to a stranger on the sidewalk.For me, it is a flow of energy for future canvas or sculpture. My work, my oils, sculpture, murals, or finishes, whether they hang on a wall or form a part of it, they are part of me.They are my art."
