Artist Statement As an artist I m enco raged to create thro gh emotions and things that mo e me. M orks often ha e a social, spirit al, and/or c lt ral meaning behind it. For me it s not abo t creating something beautiful or sellable but more about the human connection of what we deal with on a daily basis. My character building and pop art approach help to uniquely get my message across. These messages are often in the form of acrylic on canvas, pencil and pen illustrations on paper, and small sculptures. As an artist I would like my work to open the minds of the close minded. To inspire the uninspired.
