Artist Statement

Having fun while painting is the most essential part for me. To do this, I use multiple mediums and integrate them to produce a piece that is layered. Enjoying the ironic parts of life and our minds is reflected in the contrast between something a little silly and a bit of a dark undertone, and the layers represent the complexity of being human.
