Artist Statement
Creating art fulfills an internal need, which brings clarity to my existence. I strive to approach my work without intent or direction allowing the work to obtain its meaning through the process of creation. Art allows me the freedom to explore new concepts and philosophies that arise in my reality. My goal as an artist is to express my views of the world around me using a satirical, primitive, and whimsical approach.
