Artist Statement I'm a self taught artist currently residing in a Oregon. Drawing was my first love, and something I've been doing for many years. But in the past couple years, I've become more and more interested in painting. Painting is one of the few ways I am able to express myself freely, and one that I enjoy more every day. My work is predominantly portraits, as I find the human face and figure endlessly interesting. I take the function of creating art, and spirit of artists very seriously, but not necessarily my own paintings. As I tend to work from my feelings and imagination, the results consistently vary.
