Watercolors:

My small watercolor pieces depict a variety of compositions. These include details of the larger acrylic paintings, small studies of the human figure, studies of flowers, and the abstracted landscape. The smaller works have come about because I wish to explore the medium of watercolor and how it relates to other mediums, and to study a variety of subject matter that I am exposed to in everyday life.

Finally, I am creating a bridge leading to the understanding of experiences that I communicate through my aesthetic inspiration.

Acrylics:

My acrylic paintings are based on experiences that have helped to shape my moral conduct, sense of values, and my sense of responsibility. During the early stages of my paintings, it is as though I am at the bottom of a ladder. I begin by covering the canvas with a surface composed of gestured brush strokes, sometimes even applying different mediums. This becomes the base coat of the overall hues that I wish to show through the finished painting.

In addition, I work to develop the themes of my paintings through bold line, rich color and abstract subject matter. I balance the methodologies, or signs in art, and the emotions, or impressions in art in order to convey my ideas to the viewer. While creating the composition of the painting, I work from both photographs and/or nature that symbolize the question I wish to pose.

Through my acrylic paintings, I examine perceived experiences that are my deepest, freshest wounds, and my greatest struggles. I dissect these wounds, which have become the basis my personal memories, and my human existence. I am inspired to create as a result of conflict in realms such as religion, mortality, family, education, society, relationships, human rights, all of which push and pull, at my system of beliefs. Issues such as these, create daily artistic epiphanies, which bring me one step closer to both discovering and understanding the condition of society and my place in that society as a visually impaired artist.

While working to resolve issues relevant to my identity, I find comfort and peace in the process of creating and expressing both my anxieties and my dreams. The things that I find difficult putting into words are most easily expressed in my paintings. Therefore, painting helps me gain a sense of freedom. It makes me a stronger person in a diverse and global world.
