Artist's Statement

Through the process of painting and creating artwork, I hope to explore the complexity and entireness of nature. I want others to be able to stop and think of just how pure and perfect creation is. Even the most simplistic of things are made up of tiny intricate cells and require the most complex systems to work together with physics and the forces of the world to even move or recreate. I hope to portray this idea through my artwork by using vibrant colors and focusing on the movement and details in nature. I also hope to convey my culture by painting places that are meaningful to me, whether that is the Colorado mountains or the beaches of Michigan where I would spend time with family. Therefore, my paintings reflect culture and identity through naturalistic scenes that are colorful and complex.
