I make work that aims to drive the viewer to a place of interest or intrigue. I’m passionate about diving deeper into the world of my own trauma as I discover common humanity in my own life. I aim to create works that really place you into a location or that really makes you feel a certain way, as if you were locked up or perhaps dreaming.
I commonly craft my work through the usage of color, composition and the human figure. Using bold brushstrokes is a go-to, and I layer these strokes of color thoughtfully building depth, texture, motion and emotion in my work. My work does stray from these rules, but I always aim to express myself in this process.
My art is an intimate conversation, a silent dialogue between myself and the world. It’s an embrace of vulnerability and courage. Within the strokes of my brush lies a better life waiting to be explored. In my chaotic world, my art becomes a sanctuary. A place where I can breathe, where time slows down, and where I can talk about my feelings. I create to live a fulfilling life.
