I am interested in art because it is a way to express the part of myself I do not usually share with others. When I create art, I enter a space where I feel uninhibited and supremely empowered.
With each new work, I aim to connect with and communicate a different aspect of the human experience. Art to me is a tool that can contribute to the change in the world I want to see. Climate change is a topic that I’m passionate about and incorporate various angles of it in my paintings.
Inspiration for my paintings starts from my emotions which sets my mood for what topic to paint about. My emotions bring in the feeling to the paintings, affecting the color, contrast, size, etc. To finish a painting, I like to stand from afar and judge from there if it looks finished or not. I like to do big paintings, because it really gives off more energy than smaller ones. My paintings are mostly very dramatic which is why the big canvas can bring that immediate attention.
