Artist Statement
“From the very start of my journey with painting, color has been the most exciting part for me. Growing up, there were events in my life I had trouble processing and moving past. I turned to art and developed a natural relationship with color that helped me cope and compartmentalize. When I paint, I am painting with my life and using color as my language. While the swirling colors and patterns are fun to look at, I have learned to love the unpredictability of life because of color. My motivation behind sharing these personal life moments is to allow the viewer an opportunity to see the bright side of personal growth and development.”
Psychic Automatism
(2019-Current) This series is all about self-reflection and growth through a creative process of using color to mimic emotion and forms to represent thought patters. After being faced with a challenge or big life change, the artist will observe her subconscious mind activity and then work to interpret those impressions. As she paints, she uses her intuition to work out reasoning or find a new perspective. Each painting is an actual representation of a moment in time that was processed by the artist. The true work of art is a person’s ability to adapt to difficult situations and gain knowledge, experience, and understanding from their resillience.
Synesthesia
(2021-Current) A collection of paintings that were each inspired by a different song. While painting, the artist will listen to the song on loop, and create a visual representation of what she hears. Colors and forms are influenced by the instrument, tone, volume, intensity, etc. The artist creates an abstract landscape of the song as if all the sounds exist in the same place. Everyone has a song or two that they can deeply connect with because it is in harmony with their own life experiences. The way people process music is personal, however, they can connect and empathize with each other using the song as a common ground.
Synchromism
(2025-Current) Synchromism was an art movement founded in 1912 by American artists Stanton Macdonald-Wright and Morgan Russell. The artist takes the role of a conductor who produces an experience rather than an interpreter of an experience; action verses reaction. The canvas becomes a place for the artist to construct a perspective, rather than using the canvas to process a personal life events.
