End of Year Artist Statement

See more on my final portfolio!

Art has always been an escape for me. A way to express things that I have never been able to. Maybe because it was the most accessible hobby I could have. Just a pencil and paper and I was good to go for hours. I used it to process the emotions that I wasn’t allowed to feel in other areas of my life.

I work both digitally and traditionally. Traditional is my less used medium but I still enjoy it. I started digital around 2012 when I got my first drawing tablet from ruin. My second was from Wacom, and now I have a screen tablet from Huion. I love digital art because it is so expansive. It is endless possibilities. Traditional art is a bit more restrictive but I that its part of is charm.

My work is a combination of my feelings and my desires. With my feeling driven work its much darker and duller. My desire work is much more ambitious, mimicking the styles of my favorite artists. One of them being Ethan Becker. He has been my main inspiration for years now. His works are what drove me to want to be in the animation industry.
