WELCOME TO MY CREATIVE SPACE
Artist Statement
I hate writing about myself, so I'll keep this as quick and to the point as I can.
My journey with creating art has been...a long one to say the least. Since I was able to pick up a pencil, or carry a tune, I have been creating. I don't remember a time I wasn't making something. Whether it was sloshing paint on a canvas, writing music, taking photos, or moving my body. I couldn't not create.
I've struggled to make my mark as an artist or pinpoint it's purpose. It wasn't until recently I decided I didn't need to search for a purpose, I just needed to talk. Out loud - *cue the angsty Edward Cullen voice*
Inquisitive of the world around me, often with an affinity for the darkness I see as reality, part of me grew up too fast. The other half stayed a spongey child, soaking up information and getting hit smack in the face with curve balls rather than dodging them. But I've always had my art. I guess you could say it's my BFF.
Art has guided me through emotions and soothed me when I felt alone. It helps me to make sense of the nonsense that is this life. Through the ups and downs, It is the language I speak before words to show others the deepest parts of who I am. To let others in. To be my most vulnerable self.
It is the way I laugh, and the way I cry.
