Artist Statement
Throughout my work as an artist I have always felt that art is inseparable from emotions. Where one is the other follows and whether it be through my photography, abstract works, or my animations I have always tried to strongly evoke different feelings. What I love about being an artist is the ability to create something as simple as a still picture, and have that impact someone on an emotional level. I like to work in a wide variety of mediums and have been working to narrow down what I work best within.
