Abstract

The artist's statement: I am privileged to know two different cultures and my designs reflect that. I have always been a creative person as I used to make birthday cards for everyone. I knew that wanted to pursue something related to arts, but when I was doing my Associates is when I decided on a Graphic Design career. I have always been fascinated by the patterns that occur in art, architecture and the natural world, and drawing and painting have heightened my appreciation of them. I usually paint in my spare time, realistic or abstract. I have been designing for the past three years and Colorado State University has taught me so much more about this field. Different techniques and mediums have always fascinated me whether it is mixing and experimenting with colors, textures, light and different mediums and effects. Photography is one of my favorite thing to do. The idea of capturing a still image which can be so ordinary and change it through design is extraordinary. I also believe in taking inspiration from the community you live in. Meeting like minded people to interact and discus views, exchange ideas and visit exhibitions are something I look forward to. I believe that people from different background can bring something more to the community. Learning about different cultures is a hobby. I love how different cultures have different perspectives for art a design. In future, I see myself blending different cultures together. My curiosity about literature and culture sets my enthusiasm for art in a broader context and is a source of inspiration.
