I have been aware of my own sexuality since long before I had the vocabulary to express it. Due to a strict, puritanical up bringing, the expression of my sexuality was a difficult growth process. Having reached a stage in life where the opinions of others are secondary to my own, it is important to me to voice my views of sexual freedom. It is my belief that so long as it is between consenting adults, there are no sex acts which are wrong or immoral, only personal preferences, thus the content of my work. Although I may not participate in all, I rejoice in all forms of sexuality. The ability to give and receive pleasure is a blessing to be experienced, cherished and celebrated.
It is my hope that through the viewing of my art people will find a new sense of freedom to be themselves, whoever or whatever that may be. Whether gay, straight, bi, transgender or any way in which one may feel suppressed.
It is my fervent desire that with this newly discovered sense of freedom people will also see the great and real need for tolerance and understanding among all peoples.
Intolerance is Intolerable.
