ARTIST’S STATEMENT:
Art for me is like speaking a second language. It gives me an avenue to communicate what I am feeling but unable to articulate. As an artist, my goal is to authentically express what I am experiencing in life by communicating it visually. In essence, my paintings are snapshots of experiences or emotions I feel too small to face or explore alone. In sharing them, my hope is always that people feel less alone and less afraid.
