In regards to her art, she says:
In creating art, I strive to produce a crisp and realistic work of art that may stand in representation of something that is perhaps not so crisp and/or realistic. Often I am portraying an emotion or feeling. In all of my pieces, I feel a strong connection or relation to whatever it is that is being represented. I draw ideas from my own personal experiences, relationships, and passions.
I believe the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” and feel as though I can often express emotions and feelings best through art. My art is conceptual and interactive with the viewer, suggesting ideas or emotions and letting the viewer take those and interpret them in ways that apply to their own life experiences.
My works can range from expressing deep emotions like depression and isolation to light emotions of humor and slight juxtapositions – just as long as they represent something and portray those feelings and emotions in an impactful way. I want my work to be something that draws the viewer in and makes them take a second look in analyzing the piece. If I can make my audience think and feel, I have accomplished my goal as an artist.
