Artist Statement
The majority of my art revolves around the concept of the "other," both internal and external. I'm interested in exploring the complexities of the self — the fragmented emotions, unexamined thoughts, and hidden parts of identity that shape who we are. But my work also moves beyond introspection, examining the external "other" — the diverse elements of humanity and the ways we connect, collide, and coexist. Through this interplay between self-discovery and communal understanding, I hope to foster a sense of unity, empathy, and forgiveness — both for ourselves and each other.
As an artist with ADD, my creative process is constantly shifting. One day I may be content working with paint and paper, and the next I'm drawn to chicken wire and sticks. My work often reflects that restlessness — a need to explore new materials, ideas, and approaches. Regardless of the medium, I’m consistently drawn to themes of color, organic shapes, and lines - using them to help me express the beautiful mess of the human experience.
This drive to understand both the internal and external 'other' is what inspires me to keep creating — always searching for connection, understanding, and common ground.
