  Importance of family has been a significant
influence in my development as a person and
artist.  A belonging, of traditions, of heritage.  
Much of my artistic expression and inspiration
is based in some manner on family, their
occupations and life events.

  I prefer the metaphor of a family fabric over
that of a family tree.  While trees appropriately
represent branches of a family spreading from a
single trunk, threads bring an intertwining of
diverse people together into one fabric.  A single
family cloth woven from individual threads.  
These threads of different origins, ages, colors,
sizes, textures, weights, compositions,
dispositions, some coarse, some soft, some
artificial, some natural, some long, some short,
some thin, some stout----together bound as
one----family.
