Collection: Artist's Statement

Why do I make art? 

I don’t fully know the answer yet. It’s been over a decade now since I began my journey as an artist. I’m still so young, only 24; I have much more experimenting and creating to do in this lifetime. It would be naive of me to think that I have an answer. All I know is that I can’t stop. I will never stop making art; it’s just how I live. 

I am dedicated to self growth and expression. I am dedicated to change. Not only am I constantly changing and growing and evolving, but so are you, and so is every other part of the world. Change is truly the only constant. I find that to be the most terrifying and exciting thing ever. The most inspiring thing ever. 

Some paintings I finished over the course of years, and others I finished within a day. Each one is inspired by life and change. I rarely start a painting with a plan, just a vague vision and feeling that I know will always come to life on my canvas eventually.

The process requires patience and confidence. There are no mistakes, no wrong brushstrokes or unworthy ideas. I work with whatever circumstances or materials I have available to me, and the piece I’m working on turns out exactly as it should, always. I don’t stress over a piece not matching its original vision, because none of them do. They all start as one thing and end as something completely new, just like humans. That’s what I love most about my creations. It feels as though they have just as much say in their appearance as I do. 

I believe our homes should be filled with color and art that make us feel things and appreciate life. I hope you will allow me to help you fill your home.
