I am a self taught artist and have created artwork since I was a child. My diverse artistic background has allowed me to explore and conceive my extensive body of artwork.
I have encountered unexpected and daunting personal life challenges, which inspired me to enter a journey of cathartic release expressed through my art. I gave myself permission to face my repressed core feelings by discovering a method of using my right hand, and I am naturally left handed, that forced me to translate my feelings into a simplified visual form. The result has a dynamic impact that could not of been executed by using my left hand.
I have disengaged from my internal art critic, and the outcome has a fearless honesty that visually speaks the message of my intention. I have experienced an exciting transformation that has allowed me to see the world in a new perspective.
If I were to describe my work in one sentence I would call it Autobiographical Self Portraits that are Symbolic Metaphors. My purpose is to be fearless and expose and share my raw truth, and encourage others to meet themselves in the daylight of their own reflections.
