<strong>Artist statement:</strong>
I create to offer a new moment of perspective. A doorway to a fresh setting. Diverging from the previous river of time. An offering to momentarily step into a different space, vantage point, or sentiment. So, I paint representations of natural beauty, metaphors of growth, and a positive perspective. I do this by using captivating and palatable color schemes depicting floral designs entwined with portraits and animals in graphically geometric, abstract spaces.
There is nothing more wondrous than the beauty of the natural world, both visually and metaphorically. Not only does nature create some of the most beautiful forms and color schemes, but it also works in perfect harmony... balancing life and death to create an ever-evolving state of unity and growth, with the opportunity to blossom. Like a plant. Reaching for the light. Always ugrowing. These realizations arose through extended periods surrounded by nature. As such, I adopted them as my artistic philosophy, which is to represent the beauty and harmony of nature and its ability to seek growth through all odds.
Through experiences of painting large-scale public art, I now realize that it comes with a responsibility. Public artwork has the capacity to impact the everyday lives of many. So, with this opportunity, why not impact others with a positive perspective?
