Artist Statement:
--This body of work is an eclectic assemblage of mixed media pieces celebrating the fundamental properties of color, form, and repetition. I am a material-driven artist. While I work in a wide variety of mediums and styles, I enjoy creating work where form and content are complimentary. If I am using ink, I favor bold and dramatic compositions that mirror the depth and strength of ink itself. Likewise, if I am painting I try to create forms that resonate with a painterly aesthetic and capture the fluidity of paint. From traditional still life paintings to abstract geometric narratives, the basic constructs of lines, form, composition, and color still persist, and so I believe abstract and representational art to be very similar in those regards. In the future I hope to explore the narrative potentials of both representational and aesthetic designs, combing these elements within single compositions.
--I studied art at the University of Minnesota. In 2017 I graduated with two bachelor’s degree in Art (B.A.) and Art History. David Feinberg was my mentor and painting professor and guided me in my exploration of the subconscious and the abstract. I plan on returning to the University of Minnesota in 2018 to get my M.Ed. in Art Education and hope to teach in the near future.
