Love & Light

Artist Statement

As an artist, I like to paint, draw, and work in digital media. I am not someone who is a big fan of planning, so a lot of times I just go in and start making and see where the piece goes from there, using ideas I have read about in books. I like to tap into my unconscious mind; it makes it a more meditative process for me. It is relaxing but also entertaining. I use many colors to express emotions and the energy of everything. I am very interested in showing the connection between everything in my art through color. I love making gradients because it shows a lot of colors without a separation of color but rather a continuation. They are mesmerizing. 

I want my art to help people discover their own spiritual path and learn more about themselves. I want people to feel like there is more to life than what meets the eye and that there is love and support all around us. I think learning to love yourself is so important and everyone here is meant to spread love and art is a really good way to do that.
