 Artist Statement  

All my life I’ve wanted to be a painter. Try as I might though, all my paintings are still essentially drawings. The focal point of my art education was drawing, and that discipline shows itself in my work now, years after school.   

With drawing as the foundation of my work, I then work in vibrant color schemes over the top. I love working in complimentary colors, as well as working in a color scheme tinted by one hue overall. The vibrant palette is an outward expression of my inward energy.   

I am a do-er, mover, and a shaker. It’s been said of me before, that I make things “tick” – I believe this inward buzz of energy comes through in my work and speaks to the viewer of enthusiasm, positivity, and perhaps a little bit of daydream.
