ARTIST’S STATEMENT

My work explores themes of personal experience and memory through paintings and drawings. It has always interested me how I can create a conversation with paint that viewers will understand and connect with on a personal level. Through my use of patterns and textures, I aim to create a playful visual language.
My creative process always starts with an intense, deep dive into artwork from artists that inspire me. From then on, I sketch my ideas into my sketchbook. This process helps me visualize what I want to project within my artwork, and it also allows me to think about what kind of patterns go with the emotions that I am trying to display.
As an artist, I am always trying to get the viewers who interact with my work to understand what emotions I am trying to convey within my work.
