Statement
The ritual of preparing a canvas, and mixing paint, feels like walking a familiar path leading to my own hideaway. When I get there I am wrapped in comfort. As I layer acrylic paint, saturated colors give life to the subjects that live there. My portraits are forceful, loud, and strong. Everything I didn’t have the courage to be as a child. My safe place was and still is my creation. My work is a process of healing, growth and learning to love myself while living with major depression.
