Artist Statement
Art is, simply put, my preferred method of communication. Connection is essential to life but reaching outward is difficult, both cognitively and emotionally. It’s easy to feel trapped inside the jelly-filled snow globe atop of our shoulders. It’s easy to feel alone.
Often it can be hard to keep track of inward thoughts, let alone putting them into tangible words. Art offers a palatable way out. With art I can process my thoughts through the inspirational drive. Inspiration takes the first step on the journey to revealing that which my subconscious wants to be seen; what it wants to make real. Even in the absence of an audience, if I were creating in a vacuum, I would still create art for this reason; to make my thoughts tangible in some way.
I create to connect with others, more importantly, I create to connect with myself.
