Artist Statement
While I like using texture and color in my work, I aim to make narrative pieces and draw inspiration from life experiences or stories. One such piece is the Mad Hatter Hat Lantern, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is an amazing story that I draw much inspiration from, it was the basis for that piece. The piece itself allows me to play with color and texture but also bring aspects of that story to life. I also created several animals because I would like to show the delicate nature of their lives and the problems they face within the world such as their extinction. For example, the ceramic axolotl sid, axolotls are almost extinct in the wild. Not many people know about these beautiful creatures so I made him to help draw attention to the axolotls.
A common theme throughout my art is this moon and sun motif. As seen when opening my website, on the guitar, and the mirror. This motif to me symbolizes my relationship with my sister. She is my best friend and even though we are very different we will always be there for one another even if we can’t see each other. The moon and sun are rarely out at the same time and are two sides of the same coin. That is similar to her and I. My mom and sister are common themes within my art being my only family and some of the most important people in my life. That may not be obvious within my art but several pieces draw to them. I am currently working on a series of masks that tell the relationship between my mom and me. She is very important to me and I wanted to express that relationship within my work. Overall I like to tell stories with my art and hope to tell many more in the coming years.
