Within my paintings I am creating narratives about internal situations, voids, achievements, and turmoil in individuals existence of life. Emotionally significant events that are relative circumstances at certain moments mold personality and growth. Coping with internal conflicts and self destructive forces allow for opportunity of continued viability. I believe that the struggles and low times with your inner self brings change, transitions, and forward movement within yourself. Much of my work deals with negative aspects of existence. I chose to use bright joyful colors to subvert the imagery, creating a positive outlook on the pitfalls of life.
