Artists Statement
April 3, 2012
When I work with paint I become very relaxed and in peace. This reflects my artistic style because it is very expressive and vibrant in color. When I start to paint I like to do a lot of research first. I also think about my projects in terms of composition and subject matter. I like to have everything worked out and planned ahead of time because I don’t want to have to do “boring” work when I could just relax and have fun with the work. I know when I finish a project when I get a sense that it’s complete. I always see flaws in my work but I try to stop painting before it looks forced or overworked. When my work is successful I am filled with a sense of satisfaction and a sense of fulfillment. I like to do a lot of expressionistic works with organic components. One day, I would like to steer in a direction away from that and learn more from realism to expand my knowledge and improve in skill. When people see my work I hope they see a lot of emotion shown through it and can also give me good constructive feedback, hopefully one day by a real critic in an article but by the viewers as well.
