Artist Statement (So Far)

My work is still developing but certainly reflects me as a person. My work represents a strong sense of me and my personality-bright and cheerful. I find that it is strongly influenced by the happiness around me and all the bright bold colors found in all children’s books-even if it is not an illustration for a children’s book. My work uses a vast amount of bright, saturated colors paired with fun characters that get the imagination going; not just for me and any of the people who view it. As an artist I always want my work to reflect me for who I am, and work to make every piece fun in some way or another to look at. I find my work to be most influenced by children’s books and art of my teachers that work in the illustration field. I like to push my work part of the up and coming-something new and exciting; maybe something never seen-or something old done in a new way. Striving to be ahead of the curve really pushes my work to be better than what I could ever expect.
