Artist‘s Statement
Human stories and the narratives around soccer heavily influence the pieces I craft. When I am not writing fiction, I attempt to be educated on the topic, while creating fun and easy-to-understand material. My art aims to tell stories of complex emotions that the viewer can feel, not just see. My art is not confined to realism; I experiment with colorful abstract portraits that don’t show the human face, still lifes, and illustrations that center on the human experience.
