You Are Loved Print

I am inspired by the mysterious world around me: the people I meet, the natural world, and the magic of color. My current artwork mimics my optimistic personality and reflects my perception of beauty of the world - including the diverse wonderful people within it. My family, friends, colleagues, and mentors are my greatest inspirations, which is why I choose them to play an important role in my artwork. Nature and humans coexist, and one is just as mysterious, ever changing, and endless as the other. Every day I learn something new, and I always want to get closer to figuring out more about the pieces in the grand puzzle of life. Often, you'll find that I paint intimate close-ups of my subjects to try to get closer to the "truth" of what lives behind the face - usually using a vibrant array of mixed colors in acrylics, watercolors, or oils.
