Artist Statement

As a child my imagination seemed limitless: my art flowed effortlessly, creating outlandish worlds without thinking. As I grew older, however, my imagination faded away. Estranged by schoolwork, time, & the pressure to grow up, making art became a struggle. Creative blocks, often lasting months, diminished my passion & confidence. The process of creating art started to feel forced. In this portfolio I seek to reverse that process by exploring questions such as: How can I overcome creative blocks & enjoy the process of art again? How can experimentation help unlock my childlike free expression?
