Ever since I can remember I’ve been making art out of everything I could get my hands on, whether It was painting, sculpting, carving, drawing, photographing, creating, or building, I loved doing it. From the wide range of mediums I love working with, I feel the most inspired and free to create when working on a painting, handbuilding with ceramics, or designing.
I’m passionate about ceramics and enjoy the medium for many reasons, the ancient history and traditions it holds, the hands-on sculpting of earth materials into durable time holding artwork, and all the different directions you can go with it. I find myself mainly creating handbuilt architectural/design pieces. I’ve always been drawn to architecture and design so I find it really exciting to be able to put my ideas together in ceramic pieces.
I really enjoy painting because you can express so much through it, depending on the colors used, brush strokes or style. My paintings all seem to have a common theme, many bright-varied colors. I am a very cheerful person, so through my paintings I like to depict a happier mood and feeling, no matter what the theme may be. Lately I’ve really enjoyed painting nature scenery, while highlighting and exaggerating the brighter colors.
I think is a great start. You speak about why you love to create but don't really say why you make what you do. Is there a theme or commonality in your work, a reason why you make what you do?
