Artist Statement
"I find inspiration in the natural world around me. The movement within nature and its elements are a constant source of inspiration. My work is an attempt to capture the fluidity and colors of nature in a way that is both dynamic and contemplative. I am looking to create tension and balance between light and dark, adding a sense of depth and complexity. I work in layers, building up my pieces and creating high-contrast forms to create a sense of movement and depth. Each layer is a response the previous one.
My process is one of constant experimentation and exploration as I try to push myself outside of my comfort zone. Through my work, I hope to inspire others to see the world in a new light and to appreciate the intricate rhythms of nature and movement as expressed through art."Â
