Artist Statement

Black hands white earning

Black dust is my life scattered around me in the form of coal The laborers that work in coal mines are directly connected to my soul The dark black color and sharp scratches on coal attracted to use actual coal in my artwork By mixing coal with pastels and other art materials I have made paintings to represent the life of a coal miner.
