ARTIST STATEMENT: I am fascinated by a broad scope of what is considered “divine” and tackling questions around justice versus injustice, while contemplating the complexity of social issues, letting the audience come to their own conclusions.
I am a visual artist currently focused on digital painting and mixed media. I finger paint, finding this to be a tactile experience that is both a literal and a figurative connection to my emotion and expression. Once completed, the work is then printed on a number of different materials such as poured resin, metal, papers and fabrics suited to the essence of the piece.
On the horizon, future projects will include collage, painting, sculpture and a series of experiments that will consider the divine and ultimately the human spirit.
