ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Everyday human beings interact with one another. Each person has their own set of expressions and characteristics that define who they are.
My choice of subject comes from my interest in ideas about beauty, and emotional connections.
As an artist, I feel the need to try and understand the personality of the human being I’m portraying in a work. The human face and figure is something I’m familiar with, but being able to discover how to capture a personality through a still image and clearly communicate with my audience is what fuels my passion for art.
I am inspired by the moments we lose to memorize. I hope to bottle up happy moments in my art to save for later. Perhaps unsurprisingly, these portraits reference memories of home and family. These collection of work comes from my desire to preserve those beautiful moments in life through a painting.
