“The World Always Seems Brighter When You’ve Just Made Something That Wasn’t There Before”. ~ Neil Gaiman

BIO

My art journey started in eighth grade, where I was chosen to go into advanced art classes at the high school. I was given the choice to continue with chorus or switch over to art. Luckily, for everyone around me, I picked art! I continued with art classes throughout high school and eventually went to college for art. I graduated from Binghamton University with a BA in both Studio Art and Art History, completing my art degree with high honors in painting. 

ARTIST STATEMENT

My work explores the question everyone asks themselves at some point in their life; what makes me, me? Through my artwork, I investigate what influences me as a person, both positively and negatively. Why do I make the choices I make, or why do I pick one habit over the other? Whether these influences are societal, genetic, cultural, or more importantly, ingrained from my upbringing, they all have an effect somewhere in my life. Using a wide variety of mediums, I work through this question, to not only understand my life, but also in hopes that the viewer questions and understands theirs.
