Artist Statement:
My works take root from conceptual ideas based upon the issues of gender, identity, and sexuality within modern societal and cultural norms. I use my art as a platform to help educate the uninformed, combat against negative and 'conservative' attitude, and to assure the lonely that they are not alone. I mostly use tangible mediums such as ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media to display my concepts in physical form. My works involve using the human figure or color to portray my concepts, which often raise arms against negative stereotypes and narrow minded behaviors.

My works take root from conceptual ideas based upon the issues of gender, identity, and sexuality within modern societal and cultural norms. I use my art as a platform to help educate the uninformed, combat negative and conservative attitudes, and to assure the lonely that they are not alone. I use tangible mediums such as ceramics, sculpture, and mixed media to display my concepts in physical form. These works involve using the human figure or color to portray my concepts which raise arms against negative stereotypes and narrow minded behaviors.Many of my concepts are portrayed through three dimensional mediums, including sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media, as well as some prints. Working with these media builds a sense of physicality and presence within the works with a plan to invade the viewers space, forcing these issues to life.Color is an important aspect within my works as it sets a tone that provides an emotional foundation for each piece. Grays are often used to portray an oppressive component within the works, representing the conformist views against the heretics, while the heretics fight back by the vibrant and symbolic colors that represent those who are oppressed and continue to fight.
