"Blush on Blue"

Artist Statement

As an emerging and self-taught artist, I consider myself in the discovery phase of how to choose my words visually, what tone to speak visually, my story and its message visually; all to unite my audience with emotions we commonly share yet sometimes harbor. I enjoy coloring outside of the lines by twisting the expected just to give it flare that make you think….wait, what?!

I enjoy burst of color and broad strokes that pull you in from across the room with curiosity and leave you finding enough detail to tell the story and leave you pondering, “huh, where did that come from?”
