And, I respond to this challenge by spontaneously experimenting with diverse materials to produce distorted figurative expressions. Lines, symbols, and shapes are critical elements in my style as they give me the liberty to express myself with less restriction, upon the body of my figurative expressions are symbolic characters that share the narratives of each work. My art speaks of hope, confidence, and courage through diverse situations. I am inspired by the perception of myself as well as the day-to-day happenings around me. As the subject of my artistry, I relate my personal experiences with that of others and use my art as a voice to communicate these stories and experiences that cannot be spoken of verbally.
