Artist Statement: Art to me is a portrayal of the beauty of life that surrounds one as an individual. Thus, my art is an attempt to portray said beauty from my eyes in an aesthetically pleasing vision. Art truly is in the eyes of the beholder, but life is beauty in its own right; therefore, any portrayal of it should be done in the manner to appreciate both its complexity and simplicity. Every piece I create is my own attempt to appreciate the life I have and the one in which I wish to truly live. Though all my pieces might not portray only the happier sides of life, I feel the more daunting moments of life are vital to living as well for they allow one to appreciate life's more tranquil moments.
