Artist Statement
My work is a way to interpret the ideas that I have about who I am and the way I see the world. I use many different mediums, styles, and concepts. Where I get my ideas and inspirations is mostly from my family and childhood. Every work of art I create is a memory from the past, they explain where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, also a preview of the future, where I’m going.
Many different methods can be seen in my work: photography, casting, carving, videography, and silkscreen. As an artist, I try to create pieces that people can relate to and enjoy. If I can reach one person through my art then I succeeded in my work.
