ARTIST STATEMENT


Sometimes I run out of things that inspire me.
But that is what art is for.
Art is for long, uninspiring days.
Art is there to push you, to make you think, to allow you to ask questions, to force you to create answers.
To reinforce your passions.
Art should be passionate.
When I create, whether it be anything from line drawings, to poetry, to portraits, I strive to take things hidden away from everyone else, things trapped inside my own mind, and express them in wayys that people might understand. I want to allow the viewer a chance to take my passions and my thoughts and my influences and my biases and turn them into something that they can relate to, something that makes them feel.
Because what is art if it doesn't make you feel?
