Sunflower Painting

The purpose of my art is to connect to life. I use colors, contrasts and shapes to evoke emotions and give my work meaning. I began my formal training as a freshman in college where for the first time I became lost in time and space. Art helps me contemplate and navigate life’s joys and trials. The process of artmaking helps me discern what is important enabling healing, peace and strength. Currently, I research symbols and imagery and incorporate them into my work. I strive to create pieces that spark feelings, ranging from playfulness to a deeper visceral experience.
