Artist Statement
My artworks, exploring unique subjects, serve as a therapeutic avenue for stress relief and personal growth documentation. I created my representational technique and relief sculpting by utilizing recycled dried-up acrylic paint and molding paste. This distinctive approach, coupled with vibrant colors, adds tactile depth to focal points, aiming to intensify emotional resonance and inviting viewers to engage with my art on various sensory levels.
My artistic journey has led me to exhibit my works across New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania and complemented by published children’s illustrations in the California district. My artistry continues to evolve, blending emotional and authenticity with tactile allure, captivating audiences and fostering connections through visual and tactile experiences.
