I’ve never understood why artist statements are often written in the third person. My work is personal, and writing about it from a distance feels dishonest and inaccurate, like pretending I’m separate from it when I’m not.
Painting is my first love. It’s my unconditional love. It’s the one thing I can say, with absolute certainty, that I will always love. Lately, I’ve been using it as a form of archiving, a way to hold onto the people, places, and moments I don’t want to lose. Each painting becomes a kind of love letter and a preservation of what matters most.
In a world that feels increasingly negative and divisive, I want my work to exist as the opposite— a space for love and connection. Painting has always reminded me that I have a place in this world, I hope my work can remind others of their belonging too.
