Artist Statement
I’m always looking to try something new, whether it be a new art medium, or some other creative venture. My newest skill is gymnastics in which I learn to use my body in artistic ways – and believe me, that is a challenge as I am not as young as I used to be. But, I’m a kid at heart and my art reflects that; having a lighthearted, carefree, and whimsical feel. I strive to accomplish goals that may seem unattainable and the results are usually very exhilarating! I enjoy a good adrenaline rush from time to time.
