Artist Statement:
Creating is my nature. Creating unique, unpredictable art that intrigues the viewer is my passion. My obsession. I have a strong desire to create art that makes people think. Makes people feel an emotional response and form a connection to my art and to be intrigued. I love to hear what people see and how the art captures their imagination. I'm not too concerned whether someone actually likes it or not, but if it's doing the other things, then I feel like it's doing its job and I have succeeded as an artist. Being the daughter of an artist, art has been a part of my entire life. I've dabbled in many different mediums throughout and in 2018, my artistic soul was finally ready to come alive.
