Artist's Statement
Float
"I love to take photos of the night sky. My Mom, Debra Bailey, inspired this Haiku. It feels like floating in the night sky."
The Bone Man
"The inspiration comes from a novel I’m currently working on entitled The Bone Man. The photo was taken at a community museum in Bangor, ME."
Freedom
"The photo was taken on my first trip to NYC. Traveling on the Staten Island Ferry and seeing Lady Liberty in the distance inspired me. The haiku is directly inspired by today’s political climate. In my opinion, the photo and haiku, it speaks for itself."
