Artist Statement

​

For me, the process of creating art is just as important as the final product. I am an artist because I find joy in the act of making and the connections I can build as a result of ​that.

​

My work is a portrait of my body. 

 

Through paint, print, and drawing, I investigate my perception of the subject. Using imagery of my own form in constant repetition reflects the obsessive observation of bodies I experience in my daily life. I am constantly building and destroying the image, resulting in an abstraction of the body that is familiar to me. A restless image that is fragmented and exaggerated. This process is the foundation of my art practice. It and the resulting imagery allow me the space to find understanding with myself and body.
