Artist Statement
On the surface my artwork appears to be a mere eclectic choice of mediums, subject matter and techniques without a concrete connection other than they were all created by me. Regardless of the image depicted, the medium chosen or the title given, the one constant is that my love for my family is evident. My immediate and extended family are extremely close and they solely influence everything I create. They are the ones who inspire me and at the same time drive me crazy. In the end, they are the ones that make this messy ride we call life fulfilling. The tight bond we share has helped us through the toughest times and life’s greatest triumphs and I celebrate all of this through my work. We laugh, we cry, we fight, and in the end no matter what we are always just a phone call (or a short car ride) away. I truly put my heart and soul within each piece I create to show the world what they mean to me.
