Artist's Statement

First and foremost, I'm a guitarist. I didn't think when I joined STAC that I'd be improvising, analyzing films, and even grid drawing. I didn't think I'd be able to do any of these things either. So I want to say that I'm thankful that STAC has pretty much opened me up to everything the world of art has to offer. I was exposed to jazz for the first time two years ago at STAC nite when the Girl From Ipanema was played, and even something as small as hearing that song has changed me. I'm far from the person I was two years ago; people are astonished when I tell them all the crap that I listen to and appreciate.

I do and learn about art for my own pleasure. Learning something new feels good, something I noted after sitting down and learning the building blocks of an entirely different genre of music I had no idea about. I want to continue to get this feeling in whatever I might do.
