Abstract

The artist's statement: With my pieces the main thing I focus on is what emotions I want to evoke for the viewers but also I create my work to show a certain memory that correlates to the theme of the artwork. I always try to create artwork that can be colorful, fun and eye-catching for myself and viewers. I start off with a long process of choosing what is right and looks well with the pieces, each time I create something I like to draw multiple sketches just so I can get a good idea for me making art forces me to slow down, observe, and fully think about my experiences to make the work feel more personal or be able to create a piece that would evoke different feelings. When I create my pieces I think about ways to create something simple but visually pleasing, a way for people to want to get up close to the piece and find something new within the work. Sometimes combining digital media with physical media has been a fun way to showcase different meanings because many viewers can connect with physical media more than something digitally.
