Artist Statement:

I went through a lot of transformation this year in my life, graduating college, moving into my first apartment, and taking my business full time. These big life changes have carried their way into my work, exploring the meaning of home, feelings about my career, and overall just such a feeling of triumph and excitement for what is to come. The concept of transformation in my work first emerged when I created the piece Sunshine. It ended up being this really loose piece that emerged in a time where I was feeling a bit unsettled, but instead of capturing those feelings of being unsettled, I wanted to see what would happen when I tried to create the opposite of it. What happens when I transform those negative feelings into good? There is so much darkness and negativity in the world right now and I want to remain a positive beacon of light through it all. I will not let the darkness of the world take away my light, I will keep making light. I will keep being positive and share my positivity, not toxic positivity, I fully acknowledge what is happening in the world and how awful it is, but remaining hopeful despite it all. I truly believe we have the power to change the world around us and it starts within so that it can radiate out. My art shifted a lot this year, it transformed, I feel a vast openness of the time ahead, so much opportunity ahead. I have found myself wondering what my art will look like in 30 years. I feel so much freedom in my work, no pressure from school or outside influence. I feel so grateful to have such an amazing base of supporters and collectors that trust my creative vision and help make this possible. Being able to devote so much more of my time to my artwork has allowed me to really dive into experimenting, working in new sizes, and diving deeper into concepts, allowing myself to sit with one emotion and palette across multiple pieces.
