Artist Statement


In my art I like to create intricate pieces with lots of detail to bring the piece to life.  I am influenced by realism and I find it very important that I add as much detail as I can. I express myself through my art and I believe that art is a very important thing in life so I want to incorporate realistic details to bring out the seriousness of art. I want people to see importance behind artwork and I want to leave others inspired to do the same.
