Artist Statement

I create drawings and paintings that are inspired by the Universe’s sentience and aliveness. My artwork is varied in style and incorporates mediums such as acrylic paint markers, water based ink markers, acrylic paint, oil pastels, scented markers, and more. I find drawing and painting to be extremely soothing and healing. Being able to convey my imagination into a beautiful work of art makes me feel accomplished and happy.

As an art therapy student, my professional aspirations include working with child cancer patients, as there is a cancer hospital for children near where I live. I wish to make a difference in people’s lives with art therapy, by helping them process their emotions and figure out their innermost thoughts and feelings. I chose art therapy because art has been my friend since I was a child; and I wish to show the power of art to others as a guiding light in their own lives.
