Artist Statement
In my recent work, I have been developing a series of theater-inspired paintings and sculptures that blur the boundaries between animation, graphic design, and fine art. Through my use of a luminescent palette and theatrically charged compositions, I am working to create a decidedly feminine perspective that embodies my generation’s precarious state of un-balance.
I am interested in the narrative quality of painting. I am trying to create artwork that seduces the spectator to engage it intellectually, emotionally, and finish its story, like the beginning of a short story or the punch line of an unsettling joke.
