Artist Statement

"I've always had an interest in the 'trippy' sort of aesthetic. I'm naturally drawn to bright, eccentric pieces of art. One day I was on Pinterest, and photos of drawings and paintings of this kind of art were reappearing in my feed. I had just gotten canvases and decided to try and paint one. The results were better than I had expected because I never really took myself for an artist. It gave me a sense of accomplishment and a deeper connection to the art that I loved to look at. For many of my paintings, there are deeper meanings behind just the paint. I believe that everything has a reason and it adds more to the piece. You notice the piece differently when you"re searching for the authors meaning, rather than the painting itself. I've learned a lot while creating my art; patience, precision, and practice. As a result of my paintings, I hope my audience thinks deeply into them and catches their attention. After I create my art, I either give it away

Dyed

"My friend Angie gave me an idea to do this painting. She was explaining to me how she enjoyed the tye-dyed look it was giving. I took this painting as a challenge because I knew it would be different than sketching and filling in the lines with paint. I would have to fray the bush over and over till I got this look with multiple colors."

"My inspiration for this painting came from SpongeBob. A character in the show, Squidward, is a painter. For most of his paintings, he takes a more abstract approach and usually paints himself. This was one of his paintings that I found Interesting. I also took it as a challenge because I knew the curves would be a little difficult and new for me."

Smile!

"I'm a glass-half-full person, I always try to look on the bright side of things and be optimistic. I wanted to combine this optimism with chaotic, vibrant energy. With this painting, I wanted it to make the viewer happy with the bright colors and smiling face."

Rick

"I found inspiration for this drawing in the show "Rick and Morty". The show is very out of the box and creative. It involves a scientist named Rick and his grandson Morty going on adventures. The show usually includes many "twists" which the viewer doesn't necessarily expect. I enjoy the show's unique creativity and animation. I decided to see if I could amp up the already hectic show to be even more vivid and chaotic."

Well

"As Zig Ziglar once said, "Your mind doesn't know the difference between reality and fantasy.". It's fascinating to think that everyone sees everything differently. Everyone is a unique, person that has their interpretation of their world. We all have our thoughts and theories, who knows which one is right?

"I find melting textures to be appealing. It draws the eye in a way to see, unlike reality. I wanted the blob to sort of disguise himself in with the background to create the image of everything melting together."
