Artist Statement
She has long admired the illustrators and cartoonists of my youth. Comic books and animated movies made me want to be an artist. Through my interest in these fields, she has found a passion for graphic design and digital media.
Her design work concentrates on the use of shape, color and value and uses photography and digital images to aid in my overall concepts. I often refer to traditional methods of design and use historical references to help me form cohesive, modern and contemporary designs that express my creativity.
Though she wants her work to be beautiful and capture the eye, it is also important that it be based in facts. Drawing attention to the facts that are affecting humankind are at the center of my personal design work and are used to inform others of the impacts we are having on such things as wildlife, global warming, human rights, and mental illness. She imparts a sense of empathy through her design, suggesting to others to be more mindful and conscious in their actions.
