Email: [email protected] Instagram: @j_doram Artist Statement My number one strength as a human being is “Appreciation of Beauty and Excellence,” a skill that touches upon transcendence and connects us all to a deeper meaning.* To paraphrase the sentiment of Frank the cab driver in C.S Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, I am a better human today because I know such beauty exists in our world. There are mornings when the main reason I am motivated to get out of bed is in order to find a truer word, a clearer chord, a more honest pose. I hope that my words and my artistry help others to nourish the truth inside. *According to the Character Strengths classification by Drs. Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman |
