Degard
Degard says “My art offers the viewer a vision into the world of energies and presences and how these energies affect all of our affairs, lives, emotions. With true understanding I hope we can find that elusive peace within ourselves and for our communities. My current work is highly political tackling racism and interfaith issues, always with a sprinkle of truth and magic.”
