Artist Statement
My work aims to showcase the human condition through color, textures, historical references and play.
I can transport my self through my work to a far away feeling or fleeting moment in time. By combining my photography, watercolor textures and. my digital painting techniques, I have created my own style that captures the inner feelings of that day and time though symbols, expressions and color.
