Statement

I am a 2D and 3D artist, my favorite mediums that I work with are graphite, pastels and charcoal, acrylic, watercolor, oil paints, and mixed medias. I like to experiment with the art that I create as I sometimes add in different mediums to a piece or I will play different genres of music to just see the results that are created.

With my drawings and mixed media sculptures I like to create something different that can be intriguing to the viewer. I use these mediums as I have an understanding of how they work, and what it takes to make the piece. I prefer to use stretched canvas, however painting on panels, and paper is not bad either and I like to use various sizes. In the end it's a flat painting that is either made to look 3D or kept flat.

I like to have noticeable brushstrokes that are whimsical and wispy as that is just how I prefer to paint as its fun and every brushstroke is different. I prefer to have all my 2D works to have thick brushstrokes or lines as it shows the process that was used in making the artwork.
