Artist Statement

Posted on September 28, 2014 ·

My work explores the moment of escaped emotions. It captures the quick seconds of bliss, anger, affection, or confusion, where a person is no longer posing but reflexing how they truly feel at the time. These moments are unable to be replicated and can be moments that are hard to share with others. 

I enjoy the mysterious element emotion adds to photographs, videos, or paintings because when an emotion is genuine it can invoke a personal connection with the viewer. I want viewers to understand through my work the unspoken language is just as important as the words we speak. I want viewers to add their own personal lives to the images they see. My art pieces are not meant represent just someone’s face but through the persons eyes or body expression the viewer can see a mirror reflection of the world that hides in their minds.

I often add a fictional touch to my art works by trying different brush tool and colors to add contrast or a drawn effect. I hope you find the connections and the different meanings my art work represents.
