About the Artist
Artist statement - Art has always been a massive part of my identity ever since a young child I knew it was my passion. Today My work often delves into the exploration of landscapes through the lens of distant worlds humans have never seen while also depicting our natural world in new and exciting ways. As a neurodivergent individual, I use my art as a form of self-expression and therapy to navigate through the world. Through multi-media art and abstract painting, I explore the human condition creating a visual representation of my inner world. My goal is for my work to serve as a bridge between the external and internal landscapes and experiences of my mind, inviting viewers to experience the beauty and complexity of the human condition in all forms. I aim to challenge traditional notions of art and offer a unique and personal insight into the power of creativity. I use a vast array of techniques and draw inspiration from living a deceased artist. style switches between and mixes post-Impressionism and abstract expressionism.
Artist bio- I’m a pure breed Florida panhandle native. My passion for art started back in second grade, and I’ve been on this creative journey ever since. In my teenage years, I discovered spray paint and found myself captivated by its ability to create incredible galactic landscapes in just a matter of minutes. That experience really cemented my decision to pursue art as a career.
I went on to earn a BFA in studio art from the University of West Florida, where I honed my skills in fine art techniques. The journey hasn’t been without its challenges, especially with the setbacks brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. After graduating, I explored different opportunities, but in early 2023, I was fortunate enough to land a position as an Art Handler for the talented local artist Justin Gaffrey, who is known for his unique sculptural acrylic art.
Working at the Justin Gaffrey Gallery has been an incredible experience. I thrive in this creative environment, surrounded by passionate individuals, and it constantly inspires me to seek new expressions and push the boundaries of my art!
