ARTIST Statement

Im drawn to communicate visually. I create dialogues in a new perspective to convey the complex emotions and feelings of existing in this hyper-fast, hyper-aware moment in time. I'm drawn to the traditional methods and mindsets of making. I feel as if these have instinctually been passed down to me, but I find a new way and voice to speak with them. I do this while working with colorful acrylic and oil paints or with wood and ceramic. I also work with the traditional methods of printmaking, often combining it with a more direct and instinctual approach to ways of making. Subjects that appear in my work come from my daily life, affecting my art subjectively or relating to an event we all are collectively experiencing.
