is connected and related; nothing stands alone. I express the knowledge of my cul-

earth, sky, fire, and water. To experience my paintings is to discover the oral tradi-

heritage blended with and connected with the natural world encourage and elevate
the human spirit to embrace that which is positive in life.”
