artist statement.
“When I make art I try to think about it as something separate from the normal world - as if art is
a world of its own. As an emerging artist, my goal is to create artwork that is meaningful,
powerful, influential, symbolic and will have an impact in the world. I approach my artwork like a
reporter. I explore humanity through my thoughts, feelings, emotions, and from life experiences.
I take what I have seen, heard, read about, or experienced and incorporate these elements
expressively back into my art. It is about disclosing what is already known and also, the
UNknown…
“ I see colors, I see clearly, I drip and paint, passionately…”
