Artist Statement:
I use my artwork as my
personal therapy, my voice,
and my tool for social change.
In creating a work of art I'm
able to flush out my anger and
frustration, work out my inner
problems, and get on with a
healthy life. Art is also my
voice. I discover and express
my ideas and explore and
explain my view of the world
through my art. I use art as
a tool for social change by
challenging and inspiring
people to think. If they can
associate with my message
perhaps knowing a like mind is
out there will help them on
their life’s journey. If they
hate it, even better. I hope
they critically tear it to
shreds. Then maybe they can
take that critical perspective
and focus it on the world
around them, and began seeing
things as they really are
rather than as they are
designed to be presented.
A common theme in all of
my work is social criticism.
My styles, however, range from
pink fluffy surrealism, to
tongue-in-cheek consumerism,
to dark cynicism. My media is
usually mixed, acrylic paint,
found objects, digital photo
montage, steel or wood
sculptures, or cloth and
fashion...
