Artist's Statement
I make acrylic paintings on canvas that explore themes of mental illness and the processes of coping and healing. I use the painting process to better understand my anxiety disorder. I am especially interested in the relationship between color and emotions. The colors I use tend to be pastel or vibrant, but by thinly layering them over days and weeks I create color mixes that evoke complex emotions. My painting process, like recovery, is back and forth: reground and repeat.
