Artist Statement

As an artist, I feel as though my work technique is in a constant state of metamorphosis. I believe this is due to my thirst to create, explore, and express myself through every medium available to me. 

I create art to represent a thought, but most importantly to gain a greater connection to myself. The beauty of nature has been my greatest inspiration, up until the past few years.  In 2008 I started working at a haunted house in the Bayville Scream Park located in Long Island, New York. I was fascinated by the special effects props, artistic make-up, imaginative set designs, and creative energy that consumed the house. 

People who view my work see my life, my memories, and my feelings. My art has developed through life experiences, challenges, and an endless curiosity for exploration.
