Artist Bio
My interests lie in observations I make, and how they manifest themselves in paint. In a way, I think I would call myself an experimentalist. Things that are not typically seen or observed in the real world interest me. I like finding the questions they bring up and coming up with potential answers. For example, my still lives often have color that is more saturated. The nuance of color, the subtly, is what I like bringing to the forefront. As far as my medium, painting has been my preferred method of expression since day one. I feel it successfully gets the message across, especially when introducing more abstract concepts like symbology in dreams.
Artwork might give potential answers, but they are not definite ones. In my recent work, I have been exploring symbology in dreams. I keep a dream journal and develop a work of art based on one dream. Symbolism or imagery that stood out to me manifest themselves into the work. In a way, it starts to make sense as I put it together, but at the same time, brings up more questions for me. This is very interesting to me and serves as an everflowing of information that I can analyze.
I believe my artwork represents the cognition of humanity. My work might specifically involve iconography or themes that involve the life of a female. In other works, I explored that unconscious theme. I came to realize much of it involved the life of a female. Since then, it has been a recurring theme in my work. That topic is a broad one, but I think it’s why I love it so much.
