Art has been a part of everything I’ve done most of my life. It has provided me a means to connect with my heritage, thrive in business, and share my knowledge with others. Most importantly, it has allowed me the opportunity to do what all great artists wish to accomplish—convey my love for subject in a way that is memorable, lasting and honest. Art is vital to honoring our past and connecting to one another in the present. I have been fortunate to make the pursuit of development in the arts my life’s passion.
