{ARTIST STATEMENT}

I GREW UP IN A VERY CREATIVE HOUSEHOLD. BECAUSE MY DAD IS AN ARTIST, AND MY MOM IS AN AUTHOR, THEY BOTH REALLY INSPIRE ME TO LIVE LIFE ALWAYS THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX. WHEN I REACHED HIGH SCHOOL, THAT’S WHEN I STARTED TO REALLY GET MORE COMFORTABLE WITH MY CREATIVE SIDE, AND KNEW FROM THEN ON THAT I WANTED TO BUILD MY FUTURE CAREER AND LIFE WITHIN THE ART WORLD.

I LOVE THE IDEA OF CAPTURING TIME, FREEZING IT IN ITS TRACKS RIGHT THEN AND THERE WITH A SIMPLE PHOTOGRAPH. ESSENTIALLY WHAT THIS DOES IS RECORD A MOMENT IN HISTORY THROUGH A FORM OF ART. MY FAVORITE PLACES TO SHOOT ARE USUALLY OUTSIDE, TAKING PICTURES OF MY SURROUNDINGS IN NATURE. WEATHER CAN CHANGE THE MOOD OF ANY PHOTO, AND I TRY TO SHOW THAT CLEARLY IN MINE. WHETHER IT IS RAINING OR SHINING, I WANT TO EXPRESS THE ATTRACTIVENESS OF NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS, USING PROGRAMS LIKE
PHOTOSHOP, LIGHTROOM, AND CAPTUREONE TO HELP ME EDIT MY PHOTOS, ENHANCING THE NATURAL BEAUTY. 

MY GRAPHIC DESIGN WORK INVOLVES A LOT OF VECTOR ILLUSTRATION AND PHOTOGRAPHY. I TRY AND DESIGN SOMETHING THAT WORKS COHESIVELY TOGETHER AS ONE, AND CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND UNIQUE. I WORK MOSTLY ON THE COMPUTER, USING PROGRAMS SUCH AS INDESIGN, ILLUSTRATOR, PHOTOSHOP, AND EVEN SOMETIMES DREAMWEAVER. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO MAKE A STATEMENT AND A NAME FOR YOURSELF IN TODAY’S WORLD. THAT’S WHY I FIND SO MUCH INTEREST AND IMPORTANCE IN ESTABLISHING A DESIGN THAT
CAN BUILD A BRAND.
