<div></div>
<div> I've never been afraid to get out of my level of comfort and this comes into play in the materials I use in my work. When it comes to creating, nothing is off limits. I learned from Francis Bacon the power of the "Human Scream" and that just clicked for me because I think everyone secretly has the desire to scream. I was very quiet and to myself because my work screams for me. Although my work was often found political in the sense that I took to current events as inspiration, I found that after school I wanted to go deeper than what was going on in the news and more about the everyday life struggles that I saw around me. There is so much going on in the world that people have forgotten how to react to things and how to feel. There's a new era where being numb is normalized and encouraged. I want to attack that because I feel that you can't grow up and really become your true self until you learn to cope with your feelings. I've been focused on doing portraits of people who I know and even those who I don't. And even though the subject is often alone it is never small. I believe that being emotionally intelligent gives a sense of power and growth. Because how would you know the good without the bad?<br>I've always known I wanted to be an <span data-markjs="true" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="" data-ogsb="">artist</span> because of the idea of growing with your work and constantly finding yourself. That idea alone opened up a can of possibilities. By breaking things and tearing pieces apart to then put them together again in the wrong way, I was making my own puzzle.<br><div>It wasnt until I realized I could do more than draw and paint that I remembered why I loved fine art. </div></div>
