ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, I am most inspired by the ordinary and mundane moments of everyday life that often go overlooked even though they have the most profound effect on us characterize our daily lives. My most recent works for the past few years use aspects of everyday ordinary life and acts as a platform to draw attention and spark conversation on them. From the simplicity of daily routine such as brushing your teeth in the morning to the pressure of society that everyone inevitably suffers in their daily lives, there is so much to explore in the ordinary moments of our lives that goes unnoticed. I draw attention to the unspoken and overlooked aspects of life to create room for contemplation, discussion, and connection to allow for a greater appreciation and understanding for the complexity of the human existence.
When creating my art, I often use painting or sculpture to create an experience that helps convey the complexity of these ordinary moments. Utilizing these everyday scenes that anyone can see themselves in, along with with emotions evoked through color allows me to share the emotions and experiences that I have gone through in my life. While these experiences that I address in my art are specifically personal to me, I also hope to validate the experiences of others who may have gone through similar moments in life by depicting these relatable everyday scenes. My art is an outlet that helps me express and communicate my emotions and experiences that simply can’t simply be put words alone.
