Artist Statement
My process when creating art is playful, organic and therapeutic. I challenge myself to look carefully and pull beauty and hidden meaning out of the seemingly ordinary, letting the piece evolve as I go. My work often merges art and design, abstraction and order, truth and fiction. My intention is to create art that allows people a moment to laugh, cry, wonder, and connect their own narrative to my visual storytelling.
What are your “Treasured moments” & how do you connect it to your work?
I was thirteen years old when my brother passed away. I learned that an incredible loss would either break you or instil a solid desire to celebrate the everyday memories, moments, and matter that make life, this beautiful, precious thing we all share––worth it. So, although it is sometimes hard to do (and I fail some days), I try my best to treasure it all.
