  In the golden afternoon, just before the sun had begun to set, I was transfixed on the sight of a crane in the distance beyond the foliage. The creek I live a block away from serves as a sanctuary for the cranes and other wildlife in the midst of a bustling, concrete forest. So, I sought to capture the splendor of the lone crane just as it was taking off into flight, detaching itself from the calm waters that reflected the serenity of the golden moment. The crane is truly a sight to see, and always a joy to encounter.

• Creative Statement

  Art is a Sacred Language. Creativity is humanity's holy dialect. To me it means that if Art is a language, it can be taught, the word can spread. Art keeps the world alive. It nourishes and inspires the soul, thats ultimately what matters.
