I enjoy a good mystery, I like to
problem solve and analyze to fully understand something and that’s how I create
my work. I dabble in many different art forms such as dance and writing but, my
main focus is on drawing and painting. I try to add layers to each piece so
that even when a person breaks the surface, they still have far to go before truly
understanding the art, and that’s how I see life. It is a puzzle, an enigma, a
piece of art that needs to be analyzed and dissected to be understood and even
then, there are so many layers that it takes a lifetime to fully comprehend it’s
worth. It’s a mystery I find myself drawn to and cannot help try to solve. It
will mean something different to each person and I want them all to be able to
find a bit of themselves in my work. I want them to see the mystery but, when
they finally understand it, they do so in their own right, what the mystery is
to them is not what it is to the next person. We all see things and interpret
things differently and I like to explore those ideas. One person may see a rose
and think of love and happiness while another may look upon that same rose and
see sadness and loss. This is what drives me. Showing how each individual can
see the same image in a different way and understanding why that is. I’ve come
to learn that it tends to be past experiences that lead people to see things in
such a way. A simple image can mean a thousand different things; it just takes
a different person to see each meaning.
