Artist Biography / Artist Statement:

My journey began at a young age, driven by a desire to relieve the stress of growing up in a complicated home, while surrounded by my animals. My life, like my art, is one big experiment. I draw inspiration from many things, including art history, particularly modern art. The deeply spiritual and emotional abstract work of artists, such as Mark Rothko and Marc Chagall, fascinate me. The pursuit of art allows me to explore and convey my own feelings about the world and the emotions that are evoked.
