Artist Statement
Since early childhood, I’ve been an artist. Throughout high school, I could always be seen with a camera, sketch pad, charcoals, or a notebook. I wrote poems and song lyrics—the quintessential Renaissance soul, I guess you could say. I would draw tattoo ideas for friends and give away large charcoal-drawn posters to anyone who wanted them. My work comprises mostly abstract paintings in oil or acrylic and photography. I love to play with movement in both my painting style and photography. I have always been attracted to water. Its movement, how it affects its surroundings, and how it resonates with people. My abstract paintings take on that same fluidity for me. The paint is like water moving across the canvas. I like to play with shapes and lines, giving life to my pieces and taking on an individual meaning and feeling for the viewer. I hope to stir emotion in the person looking at it so they don’t just see the work but also feel something. In my photography, I am also searching for some kind of movement to tell a story or an emotion. I love art that makes you feel something.
