I mainly work with paint, using it to captivate texture and feeling on a much deeper level than just its color and flow. Paint is the perfect form of expression I find easiest to express. Themes such as emotion, vulnerability, and personal reflection are topics I like to touch on using human anatomy or skeletal systems.\nWhen it comes to general imagery, the use of dark/light and body language, my work is inspired by Caravaggio and his use of intense lighting to showcase darker feelings that include a narrative. In connection to Caravaggio, Van Goh as a person also inspires me to think deeper about the parts of myself that I can harness in order to convey emotion and texture. Both of the artists dive deeper into the sense of feeling on a deeper level.
