Artist Statement
"I see the world through color—hundreds of shades and hues coming together. As an artist, I strive to recreate normal, mundane events, and animate them through color. Taking inspiration from everyday life, my focus is on shifting the perspective of a solemn world to a vibrant one. It's easy to take life for granted and I believe if we stop and find a new viewpoint, any instance can touch us. There's an emotionality expressed through art that connects us all. My hope for any audience when experiencing my work is that they stop and appreciate the moment they're in before rushing to whatever comes next."
