artist statement
anchored in raw emotion and repressed memory; certain motifs swirl in my head, uninterrupted. depicting these images helps frame fleeting thoughts, unlocking a deeper self understanding. while painting is an excellent therapy, the goal of my art is centered in story telling. I want the people to feel deeply what I am portraying through full submersion into dreamlike compositions. I hope they are left feeling refreshed and with a better understanding of their own psyche.
