Artist Statement
Inspired by graphic design and design principles, I try and create simple to intricate artwork using simple shapes. Collage works excite me as an artist because there are so many variables and outcomes of the process, so there’s a creative problem-solving aspect to the final edit completing the piece. My goal is to create visually appealing work that can engage the audience. Physically allowing the audience to interact with the piece, I incorporate colors, scale, and placement to influence a reaction emotionally. Inspired by experiences at the time, this influences my perceptions when creating the composition.
Process is a big part of my work as I take into account how the artwork should function and then on the visuals for a structured look. The Mediums I prefer are printmaking and graphics because of their parallel process dealing with shapes.
