I create art upon discovering more about self and trying to understand how we might connect with each other. The ultimate goal is to encourage compassion and association through different perspectives. Each person sees things differently in life but we still have a lot in common. I don’t want to underestimate someone’s ability to feel something. Making art allows me to record events throughout life, share thoughts, and to depict how I am experiencing and imagining the world. Similar to a public diary entry, each installation of art work reveals pieces of an ever-changing story of who we are as people.
Using common materials and observations from everyday life and reassembling them provides the possibility for a wide range of stories, emotions and walks of life to come together. I’m mostly fascinated by how limitless mixed medium and found object art can be in forming a narration. How an individual feels, thinks and interacts when faced with the familiar as well as the arcane experience may help make since of human motives and how we are relating to each other. Most of my installations are expressionistic with emphasizing the human figure which encourages the viewer to see themselves in the work. The vibrant and diverse colors provide an alternative and diverse way of looking into a mirror.
