Artist's Statement
Statement of Work
I am a self-taught artist with some academic training across a variety of media, but overall I prefer drawing as my primary means of expression.
I love making art because it fulfills me. I love making something that didn’t exist before and sharing that creative discovery with others. I want to create art that asks questions and makes people think, and I also want to create art that people will enjoy simply for its own sake. My work communicates who I am, and through this communication I hope that I may provide a new and unique insight for the viewer, as well as for myself, on the nature and meaning of life.
