My interest in art started way before college. When I was younger, I used to watch cartoons and read comic books. All I knew back then was that I liked to draw and create stories. I did this for years. When I reached high school, I took all the art courses and weekend drawing classes that were free, which the school offered. I wanted to have something to do with/ art. Just being around it excited me. The notion to create on my own? When I got to the 10th grade, my high school teacher, Allen Edmunds, took our art class of seven to the Philadelphia Museum of Art to see the 1985 Marc Chagall exhibit, the year he died. His work was so colorful. There were hundreds of works on display. That’s when I truly got exposed to fine art. That was the moment I wanted to be an artist.
I work in assemblage, collage, drawing, and works on paper, which revolves around themes of everyday life issues we encounter with the human figure present. My concepts vary from emotional expressions, responses, or outcomes ( anger, chance, fear, happiness, hate, hurt, jealousy, love, regret, risk, vulnerability, etc.…) to identity, perception, coping within the human condition, etc.… I have eclectic tastes. My style is a combination of several elements with a heavy emphasis on illustration, mixed media, and vibrant colors with the human figure in an action-type, comic book, expressive pose, and/or movie poster-like look & feel. It’s like a pizza with everything on it. Once you take that first bite, you’re inundated with flavor. And that’s what I strive for in my work. Because life hits you all at once. I believe that in some of my experiences, I sometimes incorporate parallels to others for a sense of relatability.
