My passion for drawing and painting began in high school, with every free period devoted to art. A realistic foundation was drilled into me at that time which has definitely helped in developing who I am today as an artist. Being taught in the traditional method, has allowed me the discipline and focus to evolve and push myself where I am today - having the freedom to paint what I feel.
Currently, I’ve been exploring a printmaker's aesthetic, relying on hard-edge painting techniques to create sharp definition. By pairing vibrant, unexpected color combinations with crisp graphic layouts, I want to give traditional florals a fresh, retro-pop energy that feels both contemporary and high-impact.
I’ve always been drawn to Matisse and Pollock for their lack of fear; their bold strokes - be it in blocks, lines or color. Their willingness to evolve into who they were as artists is what led them to greatness.
