My inspiration really comes from my feelings. When I’m in love or frustrated or sad, it’s important to be able to work through those feelings—to harness that energy and put it down on canvas.

Translating feelings to canvas isn’t easy. Figuring out how to convey what I’m feeling through my work is a lifelong process.

With these new pieces, as always, I am trying to connect with the audience by giving a sense of myself, my interests, and, more importantly, my style—which is unique to me and which I can build upon.
