Artist Statement
My process based practice is rooted in introspection. Using painting and drawing as visual language, I am reflecting on the self and my emotional connection to my environment. I use the act of reminiscence as a personal archive to confront and embrace nostalgia, mental health, personal experiences and concepts of collective narratives. I am interested in exploring these themes using vibrant colors and gradients to find a deeper sense of self and familial history.
