Artist Statement: The people and energy of the city have always inspired me. Looking at the world and the city with open eyes and trying to find the positive side of life even amongst the trying times we still live in, I continue to try to create work that makes people happy, and I hope that when you play this piano that feeling of joy will fill your spirit.
