My Artist Statment

I make work to understand what I'm feeling inside. I have to see my feelings in order to understand them. I make art to externalize what I feel internally because it is the only way I can truly understand myself. Each work I make is a little glimpse into my own psyche. For those imperfect moments in life, the process of drawing and painting extracts the anger and sadness out of my body. My emotions become visible and I achieve a level of peace and satisfaction. Because my work is so emotionally driven, some works are completed quickly while others will parellel verious sentiments and take longer.
