Artist Statement:

Weirdly I’ve found that it is my stubborn nature that has shaped my tendencies as an artist. Often I find myself in the position where the deadline is creeping closer, but I still can’t help but feel the necessity to push an art assignment that I think is okay and rework it. However, over time, especially this year, I’ve found it valuable to being inspired even by routine in my work. I feel like this change was shown most noticeably in my sketchbooks, where I made some new missions. I would be the cogish glue that details that the creating process just wouldn’t be explain again anymore. Now, I find myself to be drawn to more abstract styles because I like how there are no wrong decisions and I feel like there is more to explore.
