Artist STatement
 

I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A NATURAL INCLINATION FOR CREATION. MY BELIEFS ARE THAT CREATION IS WHAT CONNECTS US WITH THE SOURCE, THE SOURCE OF LIFE. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CAPTIVATED BY HOW A PORTRAIT CAN EXPRESS A MOOD AND A TONE THAT DOES NOT NEED TO BE DESCRIBED IN WORDS BUT INTERPRETED.

MOST OF MY WORK HAS ROOTS IN REALISM, WORKING PRIMARILY IN OIL ON CANVAS. MY LIFE IN URBAN ENVIRONMENTS AND NONTRADITIONAL FAMILY DYNAMICS IS CONVEYED BY THE BEAUTY WITHIN THESE EXPERIENCES. SHOWCASING VARIOUS PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL AND CULTURAL ISSUES, IT IS MY DIRECT INTENTION OF REFLECTING LIFE’S DUALITY.
