Artist Statement
I prefer to learn and work in various mediums and styles in order to diversify the way I can communicate. I liken this approach to being multilingual. Working in this way helps me better understand the world and its symbols, both natural and artificial.
With this particular body of work, I wanted to explore color through a process not unlike the CMYK printing method, but with variations on dot pattern and size, medium, and execution. The subjects of this series are family and friends, simply because they are the people I celebrate. They are my celebrities.
