ABOUT ME
“The world of reality has its limits;
the world of imagination is boundless”
— Jean-Jacques Rousseau
I wish to continue my personal and artistic exploration of the human connection through the healing power of art. Through the act of human connection and inclusivity, we can create a deeper understanding of the significant role human connection plays within our society and learn to celebrate each other's unique and intricate journeys thus allowing healing to begin and segregation to resolve.
WHY I MAKE
As a visual artist I have personally always been compelled by the wonder of humans and how we connect to one another. My work has always included elements of figurative design, often speaking to the connection between humans as well as the cultural and systematic significance carried within the human body. Unfortunately the arts community continues to be vastly underrepresented leaving it sometimes difficult to connect and heal within the community using the power of the arts. As we all have come to learn throughout the Global Pandemic, many are left feeling disconnected from one another not only physically but emotionally. It saddens me to think that during a unique time in the world where we as a global society share one collective struggle, we still remain divided.
Within my artistic process, I work to create sympathetic imagery inspired by the human connection as connection and harmony amongst each other allows us to grow in ways we otherwise would not. I believe there is truly nothing on this earth more valuable, delicate and beautiful than how humans connect to one another.
