"The images are symbols of life, fertility, and repose; icons that can refer to various images throughout all cultures. I construct these images in ways that highlight their natural beauty and abstract form. Each work is a union of the varied cultural influences that have shaped my visual consciousness.

The work not only comprises an inner journey, but also an analysis into the nature of being human." --Chris Kahler referring to his artworks
