Artist's Statement
My art is a search for aesthetic harmony in composition and content. I strive to create artwork that draws the viewer in and captures the mind in an experiential moment. I think of my works as explorations of the connections between the world, stories, and lives around me and how art can express or impact those things. I take an experience or an idea and strive to force a perspective or crop the content to create a story or feeling for the viewer. I see art as a daily interactive experience for the viewer whether it is viewed in a gallery or not. Art can be made from or found in anything we see around us and I want to share my love of finding aesthetic moments wherever I can with the world.
My process usually starts with a natural inspiration, some sort of experience or viewed object. I then take that inspiration and struggle to capture the essence in some sort of medium. Since 2014 my works have mostly been photographic in nature. In my installation and sculptural works, I tend to work mainly with sculptural elements created by using cheap, readily available materials.
I hope to continue exploring and creating as a pathway to increasing the love for art around the world. Whether this passion is passed to my students, friends, or family; I hope to leave a positive impact upon the world.
