Background:

To create my watercolor pieces, I start with simple lines and round shapes. Then I add a lot of bright colors. Although on the surface my artwork appears rudimentary, beneath the simple and child-like illustrations, my goal is to convey complex emotions.

To me art needs to reach the core of its viewer and bring out emotions, thoughts, and values buried deep within.

Through my art I also want to evoke the feeling of hope. I like seeing that hope in children’s eyes when they see something they get excited about. Their minds are open and their eyes sparkle. Children’s emotions are honest and pure, and by brining my art to a simple form, my hope is that it will awaken truth and unadulterated emotions within each of us.
