ARTIST'S STATEMENT
My affection for color grew bolder when I dared to call myself an artist. I especially enjoy that art can be messy and I am not afraid to get in the face of a painting. I'll often use my painted fingertips, sometimes alternating with a brush.
For me, making contact with the paper/canvas allows for a more detailed touch. My inspiration relies heavily on all forms of the arts; from theater, to a song's lyrics, to the decorated rooftops which once graced 5 pointz.
Emotionally driven Frida Kahlo is my artistic hero. Her work revealed itself to be immensely personal while her use of dramatic color to tell a story is a nurturing influence.
