"This collection was inspired by my ongoing fascination and respect for water and our environment, which has been an integral part of my life and work for quite some time. I created a series of paintings infused with recycled plastic water bottles that I actually drank from and collected. As an artist, I feel the need to address issues in the world through my art and writings that will hopefully bring awareness to people who do not know about a particular subject.

Since water is the essence of life, it too is a living thing. If we can learn to flow like water, to become water, we will understand the importance of the interconnection we have with all life."
