A Little About Me
I began showing an interest in art at a very young age. Sitting
alone at the table with paper and a box of crayons, I would spend
hours creating refrigerator masterpieces. My art and I have
evolved much over the years, but the passion remains and only
grows stronger with time. The best thing about being an artist is
that I have the chance to visually convey who I am. The message
may not always be recognizable to some, but it's there, lurking
beneath the layers of paint and graphite.
It wasn't until later in my journey that I discovered my love for
color. Primarily working with pencil in my youth, I moved on to
acrylic paint. Still having the tendency to incorporate graphite
into my paintings, I also use various other media such as ink,
handmade papers and watercolor. I'm constantly at awe with the
layers and textures that this technique achieves and tend
approach subjects with a realistic yet whimsical hand.
I've found over time that certain elements and subject matter are
repetitious in my work. Nature, life, death and simply existence
capture my imagination. Birds fly, trees grow, and people wander
the earth. All of these work together, albeit in harmony or
discord, and they share a common fate. The connections between
them are made and the image is captured and released through a
brush and pencil. Portraying these images is challenging at times
but I remind myself that it's the creative journey that matters
most, and not the actual destination.
