artist statement

artist statement

My artwork is a representation of the surroundings my generation lives in. The paintings i make are spur of the moment and the photos i take are the same.  Even at a young age, color was really important to me. Rothko, Basquiet, and Mattise, were some famous artists i was obsessed with as a kid. I wanted my colors to be as bold and beautiful. My paintings and my sculptures deal with material objects that our generation produces in a time period where trash is found  everywhere. Familiar trash like bottle caps, candy wrappers, and plastic bags, can be found and appreciated in my work.

i respond intuitively
