Personal Statement:

Painting is the mixing together of what I know with who I am, and always growing closer to the artist I will be remembered for. My paintings reveal the very sentiment that I feel at that very moment. Creating art offers my emotions to life. It is my catharsis…

Influences:

Gustav Klimt, Egon Schiele, Frida Kahlo, art nouveau, dreams, music and human nature. "Life may imitate art, or art may imitate life, but one can not exist without the other.” —Sarah Detweiler
