Artist Statement

I live with multiple mental health diagnoses, and I like to take the symptoms of these ailments and use them to create lines, shapes and colors to form geometric and abstract arrangements. I aim to present visuals that do not make mental illness seem pathological on paper. I form paintings that transform what I suffer from into an explosion of color and beauty. I am purposeful with pleasing aesthetics, satisfying colors and smooth as marble finish to my paint that makes you want to run your hand across them like a kid at a toy store or a touch everything science museum.  I want my abstract paintings to look like they were printed from giant inkjet printers with pigment inks. Perfection. Smoothness. Control. Sharpness. Something that brings warmth to your living room. I am not ashamed to want my art to match your couch. This is purposeful. I want mental health to be approachable just as much as I want my art to be. Not only approachable, but a welcome addition to any space that soaks up the geometry of the room as well as all its colors.
