ARTIST STATEMENT
My vision of visual art lies in attention and intention. As an artist I appreciate and strive to convey the details. I find
inspiration, beauty and life in those details. From the stamen of a flower to the way a dancer performs a pirouette, I notice
the little things. My eye is naturally trained to see the tiny beads of dew on the flower or the powder on the dancer’s feet.
And for that very reason I feel the need to produce art in all forms. My choice of medium varies based upon each project
but I generally start with my sketchbook and my trusty black warrior number two pencil. Initially I close my eyes and
imagine what I want to convey. Loosely I let my hand sketch to find my shape. As the shape becomes more defined I will
start the arduous task of finding my details. It could be the reflection in a mirror or a key pose in an animation. It all starts
with that pencil and paper. As forms and details appear, I focus on my intention. What am I trying to say? What story am
I trying to tell? Who am I trying to speak to? With that intention I transfer my drawings into various media, ranging from
Maya, Adobe Illustrator, Final Cut Pro to an empty canvas. I don’t want to limit myself to one art form. Art is continually
changing and transforming itself. In order to keep up I stick to my attention to details, my intention to create and my desire
to learn new ways to convey them.
