While I am working on the surface, my mind wanders across an internal landscape of memories and experiences. Questions that are difficult to answer in the rational world arise in my mind. Growing up with a mentally ill parent impacted my personal and professional lives. Ever since my mother was first diagnosed with schizophrenia, the world has dissected not only her, but also my sister and me. Growing up under an unwanted spotlight left me feeling as if I were being examined silently as opposed to just being asked to express my feelings.
To me, my artwork is a means to express my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. I no longer intend to allow these silent examinations of my life to carry on. Every image I will use will be connected to a gut-wrenching, emotionally evoked feeling. I will work intuitively focusing on my thoughts to create textural environments and these environments will become a strong expression of my internal self. I intend to express my feelings in every one of my individual works through the use of color, space and line. Each one of my pieces shall represent an emotional stepping-stone within my life and find their own spot in the art world
