Most of my past work has consisted of experimentation
because I was trying to find a concept and style that felt personal and natural
to me. Last year was a significant year in artistic growth because I started to
find a voice for myself that felt authentic and successful. This year, I want
to polish up and establish my portfolio for colleges and any other artistic
decisions I make in the future. I am interested in psychology, emotional
communication, existentialist ideas, and raising awareness against mental
health stigmas in society. Creating art has become a major aspect of my life
because it became therapy for my depression and anxiety. I have struggled with
emotional communication all my life so my art has become a way for me to
express my troubles with others in a healthy way. Putting my emotions out into
the world in a way that feels valid and productive is helpful for myself
personally and career-wise. Becoming a
gallery artist is a main goal of mine. I have found myself moving away from
producing 2-D work and moving into 3-D media and installations. I want my work
to be interactive and I want to engage with the audience since my work has to
do with communication.
