Artist Statement
My work is heavily inspired by the people I love, the world we inhabit, and the work that I’ve admired. It’s often believed that great artists create their work out of thin air, or their work is something that originated purely and organically, entirely from their own mind. But the truth is that all art is shaped by the world, people, and work around it and that came before. A good artist can look beyond their own brush and see problems and beauty in the world, can be inspired by the people next to them, and can view the pieces that they didn’t make and condense it all to make something new. The beauty of art is that it is a self-fulfilling medium; great art is influenced by the ones that came before, and will in turn influence the ones that come after. I take all of it, and all of their faults and strengths, and try to make something new with it. My hope is that with each piece I get better and better so that one day, my inspired work can inspire others.
