Curator Review
artist statement


I enjoy painting large pieces because the act of creating--physically moving--is as important to me as the finished product. In turn, these large pieces swallow up the viewer, engulf them, heightening the experience.

I love using words in my work. They help me tell a subject's story with more emotional and psychological depth, and show how I am feeling at that specific point. I use lines from my favorite books, songs, and my personal journals.

I am an Art History major, and everything I read excites me and acts as a catalyst. Lately, I feel tremendously inspired by Francis Bacon, Jean Dubuffet, Robert Rauschenberg, and many feminist and performance artists of the 60s.

I am working to become more experimental and open, to embrace more peculiar and authentic images and feelings, but I know I have a long way to go. The fun is just beginning.

Thank you Case! I really appreciate the support, it means the world to me : ) The paintings will be waiting, and in the meantime I'll try to get some more up for you to enjoy. Thanks again- you brightened my day!

Amber, I am hoping "Wrapped Up" and "Jessy" are still available in 1-2 years. I'm saving up to buy them. They're incredible. I love it. I can't wait to see more from you. Good luck with your passion and career!

I graduated from CSULB few years back. I never like to work on portrait but you gave me a different view. Cool stuff.

Thank you S Runyan! I really appreciate the comment, tremendously, and am very glad you like the Blues painting. I'm sorry if it's on the expensive side, but big canvases aren't cheap for students these days =( and also, the ties are my grandpa's, so it's a little sentimental. I haven't added any artwork for a long time unfortunately, but definitely will be soon during winter break... so keep on checking back and you might find another you like! Thanks again for taking an interest!

I love your artwork! I have been looking at your profile all day! The blues piece is my favorite! I just wish I could afford it

Milky- I am sorry it took so long for me to answer! The lyrics are from an Avril Lavigne song. I don't necessarily like her, but the words of the song really hit home for me. Hope you are enjoying it.

What is the origin of the lyrics from your "Lyric Hair" piece? Is that your own words or from elsewhere?

 

Milky | 3/14/2007 | 12:59 PM

I just bought Lyric hair. It looks even better in person. Thanks.

 

Milky | 1/22/2007 | 3:13 PM

I love your artwork. The pieces Green portrait, Lyric hair and Music man are really sweet. Look forward to purchasing a piece from the site.
