My Artist Statement
In this vast and ever-expanding universe, I have found a plethora of unanswered questions and secrets. The greatest scientists and mathematicians have spent decades trying to answer them all, yet it seems that for every one answer, there is a gateway to thousands of new questions. I myself have searched for these answers, but I can only ever find myself circling back to one conclusion; the universe was not created to be understood, it was made to be appreciated and observed. When we stop trying to find the answers, we discover the immense beauty that is in everything and everyone.
As an artist, I try not only to observe this beauty, I try to capture it. In every imaginable thing is a galaxy of unexplored territory, and my goal is to tread these waters with my canvas and brush. The pieces I make embody what I see in attempts to relay this to my viewers and make them feel what I feel. Often times it is not what we see or the things we hear that get remembered, it is the experience and every emotion attached to that experience that does. Therefore, I pour my heart into every mark in attempts to create things with beauty and power. Capturing the essence of the world around me and its endless wonders is what I live for. |
