Artist Statement

As kids, our senses were stronger: colors were brighter, things were bigger: it all just felt different. I explore that phenomena through my art, and get a bit closer to it everyday. My process is rather disorderly, in ways similar to that of a kid, often involving a messy combination of paint, fabric, and anything else I find hoarded around the house. My childhood was filled with creativity and chaos. As a reckless child my only true passion was creating weird trinkets and compositions. Through my mixed media pieces, I aim to capture the essence of this surreal childhood nostalgia, blending together artifacts of the past with whimsy.
