ARTIST STATEMENT
As an artist, my work takes a leap across various mediums that I’ve learned to love working with throughout my years of creating. I typically have quite a bit of similarities in a body of work concept wise, using a combination of oil and acrylic paints. The majority of my projects consist of animals, both typical household pets and various other wildlife. Each is unique in its own way, capturing moments of happiness or vulnerability.
The main source of my inspiration is from viewing the outside world and finding these animals from friends, family, or research. Each concept and composition is carefully thought out, creating something that represents a vision of what kind of life each animal endures.
