Artist Statement
Typically bright and colorful, my artwork reflects my innermost thoughts, feelings and inspirations. Themes of nature, love and harmony appear throughout my work.
Unlike personal interactions that can be managed based on social constructs and desired outcomes, my artwork remains my most unfiltered personal expression. My intent is to create art that promotes feelings of happiness and joy. I primarily work with canvas, acrylic paints, paper and non-traditional materials like LED lights. I love creating art that makes the viewer want to reach out and touch the work. |
