My artwork represents an exploration of the unknown. In that exploration I hope to open the minds of the viewer and have them draw different conclusions about what the piece means to them. I try to experiment with new techniques and medias as much as possible. Every artwork I create is close to my heart. I am especially interested in conveying emotions. Among many; the emotion could be sadness, joy, excitement,lust or grief. I strive to have my audience feel those emotions along with me.As an artist many times I will gain inspiration from the people and places around me. It could be something as simple as the sun shining through the trees or a child laughing. Whats most important to me is that that experience of viewing creates a powerful feeling. If something in my environment leaves a lasting impression on me, I will then be motivated to expand upon that idea and create an artwork from my inspirations. The human body has always fascinated me. I enjoy studding various body positions and recognizing how this and the location of the subject can convey a certain emotion or state of mind. For example a woman with her head down,sitting with her arms clenched tightly around her legs in the corner of a dark room would most likely convey a feeling of claustrophobia, sadness and instability. In my artwork I aspire to create a connection with the viewer and relate to them personally. I want the viewer to walk away with a smile on their face and a sense of comfort.
