Artist Statement

I started painting and drawing to help myself feel grounded and so I wouldn't have to focus as much on the world around me. This became especially true during covid. It was always a nice break from thinking too much about things. Over the years I've diverged from only painting in acrylic to using watercolors and ink. I also draw less with graphite pencils now and more with pens or prisma colored pencils sometimes even charcoal.
