ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Storms are frightening, and yet they are bound to come and bound to pass. Pulled from different difficult experiences in the artist's life, this piece portrays the complexity of personal storms. The turbulent storms of life are not always disastrous. They're not always, nor are they only chaotic and ugly, but within it can hold a glimmer of hope. A glimmer of lightness where beyond the dark clouds, there is more. Exhibited in a solo show "The Seen and Unseen" at Southern Connecticut State University, the body of work represents the multitude of things that are more complex than we’ll ever really know. Just being alive means acknowledging the seen and at times having to trust in the unseen. Layers and layers of story, encounter, joys, tensions are caked on, each layer just waiting to be known. We shall not ignore its presence. What is visible is not always the full picture, and what is beneath the surface can speak volumes. What is beneath the surface can make what you see what it truly is.

I am endlessly inspired by the regular. The mundane. The things we deem boring. The events we've witnessed a million times. There is so much to be unpacked in it all, and that's where my art begins: the every day. I intentionally absorb life, stories, and experiences in and out of my own normal days, and subconsciously watch them unfold onto the canvas. My paintings are playful and dynamic, moody and uncertain. They are subtle and dreamy, moving in and out of visibility. The language spoken is of the complex patterns, forms, and fractals contained in all the regular things around us. I am interested in creating ethereal spaces that feel familiar and yet completely otherworldly, using the richness of layering and the relationship between line and paint to ask questions of peace, stillness, and the depths of it all. Even in the most ordinary, always seeking the extraordinary. There is beauty all around us. May we dare to breathe it into our most normal and regular lives.
