Write-up in feature in Juxtapoz Issue 82:

Playing with organized chaos and being busy is a habit I can’t always free myself from. Fortunately, I have a special friend who reminds me to be still and feel peace. There's this beautiful gift called life. I can look at it and analyze it. I can also open it up and soak up all it’s offerings. For me, an artist's success shouldn’t always be measured by what he or she has done. Success is about enjoying the journey, because joy offers the most rewards. There are struggles along the way, but these challenges keep things flowing. I guess there's a reason why joy doesn't always pay my bills- it's priceless. This is why I love the Islands Fold Artist Residency I created with my partner Angela. It offers me an opportunity to grow things for the community art farm.
