My work is figurative and narrative, using stylized figures to explore complex emotional themes. Bright color, elongated forms, and exaggerated expressions create an inviting entry point into more difficult subject matter.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from emotion, my own and others’, and in moments I see in everyday life. I’m also influenced by world events and historical figures, which help me connect personal feeling to broader human experiences.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the money in materials, studio space, and larger canvases so I can expand the scale of my work and develop a more cohesive body of paintings. I would also allocate part toward professionally documenting my work. In addition, I would like to extend my community-based practice with older adults by providing enhanced materials and supporting more accessible, meaningful painting experiences for the groups I currently work with.
