Artist Statement

 

I like my art to create curiosity with a sense of balance and growth,
that consists of hard lines inherent with geometry that overlaps and
fades into each shape. Each line shows boundaries, yet is balancing
and fading and overlapping into each other yet appearing organic.
My vulnerability bleeds though the canvas as I am inspired by human
relationships, subconscious thoughts and emotions I have towards
them.
I feel that life is about balance and boundaries in order to create
grounding and harmony within oneself. My work derives from
subconscious perception and perspectives from my travels to every
day life, and shows the past present and future paths I have taken
and will take in my life that lead me to the present environments and
experiences.
