Color and Rhythm meet Figurative Expression

My goal is to create a color pulse and sense of vibration that moves the viewers eye through my work.   I work to make each shape and layer of color equally interesting within my paintings whether it be in the foreground or background.  Both positive and negative space are intentionally treated with equal care to enhance the balance within my compositions. It is my goal to continue to grow in my craft and enhance my visual palette; ensuring that what I am attempting to say within my work is clear and relatable to the viewer.

My recent bodies of work have been heavily focused on attempting to share my feelings and relationships that have heavily impacted my world and community. These works were created to tell a story of the experiences that I have been through within the last few years of my life.  They feature, loved ones, new friends, and peers that I have worked alongside and learned in my journey as an artist.  Within this body of work are several “sub-series” of paintings that I have created.  For example, “A seat at the Table” is an ongoing series of work that features women who I have befriended, and worked with the art and education community of Indianapolis, In.  These works come from my personal experiences, and allow me to share my story with those who experience my art.
