Artist Statement
We cannot look upon nude art without seeing a reflection of ourselves. Our varying degrees of self consciousness or human body experience determines how we might feel about what’s before us. My objective is to make a viewer pause with wonder. From Crawford Park, MB near Riding Mountain National Park
