• Artist Statement

  This artwork I made with the intention of displaying my full and true emotions regarding art. The piece was made with my best attempt at not focusing on the end result and committing to the process of the art. The artwork was made as a sort of ode to my best friend, who I derive a lot of inspiration from, and myself. The piece is titled optical regurgitation as it feels like a sort of visual representation, or regurgitation, of all the things I love most about art and all that inspires me within art. This piece helped me explore my freedom as an artist and to do this within it many different mediums were used such as acrylic paint, collage, colored pencil, ink, graphite, alcohol markers, and more.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is something that dictates daily life. To me creativity feels like something that travels with you throughout your life, it changes and grows with you and is a part of your being. Creativity influences a persons self expression and is a means for each individual to make an impact.
