Artist Statement

Being open minded towards art is a key factor to my creativity. My pieces are diverse in the medium, style and technique. Which allows them to be distinctly unique from each other. Created with etching ink and acrylic paint, I want to showcase the beauty in our surroundings. “July” is a painting composed with acrylic paint. This was a recreation of a photo I captured in 2019 when I took a trip to Mexico. Finding a different use in acrylic paint, I treated it like watercolour to soften the appearance of certain areas and to create a smooth transition in colours. The detailed lines of the structure emphasizes its significance in the piece. I hope to inspire others to experiment and explore different concepts of art to create unique pieces.
