Artist Statement

 

I like to create things, for fun, for self expression, for a deeper purpose. Some of my work is made with the intent of communicating my views on certain topics, just for me, or just for celebration.  I am always inspired by my surroundings. Almost anything can spark a craving to create new art- to list a few big inspirations in my life; makeup, music, clothing, other artists, my friends. Most frequently, new art supplies is what will drive me to create. I love to experiment with new mediums or to refine some of my skills. As an art student, I am constantly learning new things, and as an artist I am constantly having new ideas to bring to life. I’ve worked with various mediums -pastels, charcoal, clay, watercolor, colored pencils, markers and pens- to name some of my favorites. I’ve experimented with sculpture, photography and even fashion design, but drawing and painting is what makes my heart sing. I would like to say that my work is always thoughtfully planned out, but a majority of the things I make are purely unscripted(and I’d prefer to keep it that way;)). The raw spontaneity in my work is something I value, since it allows me to totally express myself in the moment.

Art, for me, is a way to forget about the stress of everyday life. It doesn't matter what I make, what medium I choose to work in or what the deeper meaning my work holds for me or for you. The feeling of detoxing my mind while creating art is what's truly worthwhile.
