Artist Statement
Bio
My work attempts to fuse images reminscent of children's
books with the struggles of adjusting to adulthood. My characters
deal with issues of self consciousness, depression, solitude, and
longing. I attempt to make images relatable in content and also
aesthetically pleasing. There is almost always some kind of ailment
that afflicts my characters. I also incorporate elements of humor in
all of my work through the use of anthropomorphism as well as
cynicism. My art has become a visual diary of what happens in my
world and how those things affect me. I use these characters as a
vehicle to tell my own story.
