dc.description.abstract	The artist's statement: There are artists out there whose goal is to present serious themes in an environment where people will be forced to think about them. That is not a goal of mine. I work is to make the viewer smile, to make them curious, to incite a playfulness that people can often forget they have. I want my art to call back to the wonder of childhood, where anything was possible. The art carries an aura of infancy by using elements such as soft chimera animals and silly faces on inanimate objects. My character and setting designs are simple, but unique. A colorful palette and bold outlines create a bright and happy environment, one that invites the viewer to explore despite the weird elements that are presented in the art. Fluid motion of the figures captures a smooth, bouncy atmosphere that is reminiscent of old cartoons. I use storytelling as the backbone of my work while leaving the plot open enough for the viewers to fill in and interpret the meaning for themselves. I want the art to ultimately serve as an interactive experience, where although the viewer cannot directly interact with the animation pieces, they still feel invited into the space that the characters occupy, to imagine what their world is like.
