He reveres the moments of inspirational reflection when his artwork takes on a life of its own. The Divine moves him as he glimpses the indescribable, a window into another existence. It is as if he receives acumen from a Divine Source and the result is an image that emanates and vibrates with emotion making a deep connection with a resonating soul, spreading light and love through his artistic works.
