Art is a constant variable in my life.  Visual art seems to feed me in ways that other liberal arts cannot.  At times it has been my salvation.  I believe that it is rare and truly special to be 19 years old and have already found my passion in life.  Standing over a blank canvas, I have no concrete idea as to what I am about to paint.  I just start, and as I blend, scratch and pour, my creativity and imagination flow freely.  I have not yet found a particular concentration; rather my work is spontaneous and flees my imagination without constraint.  This is what influences the very nature of the finished product.  Consequently, my paintings are representative of a bigger process – the process of me growing in myself, finding my confidence and becoming a distinctive artist both in form and content.  I want to put the work out that I have created thus far and share it with the world.  Being able to create beauty out of a blank surface is a powerful, rare and incredible feeling.  I believe that my art will allow people to look deeper and find something below the surface that will move their imagination as mine is moved when I paint.  I want to thank my family, friends and teachers who have supported me entirely, and have helped me put this website together and make my dreams come true.
