"An artist is someone who has a story to tell. Whether it’s a comical, sentimental, observational or serious statement doesn’t matter. It inspires the viewer to think; to become involved in not only the world of the artist, but to help them understand themselves better. Remember, not all works of art are appreciated by all people, but to the portion of the world that does relate to any single piece, the statement was worth making."
