Artist Statement
As an artist, I am interested in exploring how and why I make the work I have been pursuing for the last six years. Last year I found myself at the edge of what I had been doing and wanted to push into a new territory in terms of visuals, composition, narrative, technique and overall process. I treated this body of work as a vehicle to investigate why I am drawn to certain art aesthetics. I tend to emphasize heavily on the exploration of different mediums through use of combinations of acrylic paint, colored pencil, and ink. Whether it be through pulling from imagined pasts or crafting alternative worlds, I have come to further understand how my own past has influenced my current self.
