My inspiration for art has always come from my immediate surroundings or last viewed interests. I am a very versatile, young artist and I enjoy any new medium challenges. My art work includes animals, fruits, realistic art and my most recent pieces are eccentric faces. I personally enjoy doing eccentric faces to create more of a fun world that doesn’t have to be perfect. I also really enjoy working with epoxy resin creating realistic ocean scenes and refurbishing small furniture, The mediums I have worked with are acrylics, oil, eggshells, charcoal and epoxy resin on canvasses ranging in size from 2x2 to 16x20 and epoxy resin in upcycling old desks and discarded windows. Expression made visible by form can be a powerful role in an individual’s life. Sensation, emotion and knowledge are amplified in my artwork. Creating my artwork helps me lessen stress and anxiety when I can produce it in my own style and world.

Fascination set in as the paint hit the canvas in spring of 2016, right before her tenth birthday. She began to become entwined right along with all of the different colors as they were blended in each piece of art that she made. She started with acrylics, making colorful skies and different ideas of the universe then sampled her art by painting with oils. Attempting to try something new, she created art with eggshells on canvas adding acrylic paint to some pieces.
“Painting for fun” soon became more of a necessity in the spring of 2018 when her older sister, age 23, passed away. Art became a form of therapy as she painted items with acrylics in her daily surroundings, such as her phone case, her closet and bedroom doors, a pencil/pen holder, plastic spray bottles, a beautiful nature scene on a hallway door within her home…the ideas were limitless. She has also had experience drawing with charcoal and the most recent interest is in making artwork with epoxy resin.
