For me, art is a hobby and a way of life. My artwork reflects everyday life and popular culture. I draw inspiration from Pop Art from the 1950’s to present time. Pop Art is a celebration of identifiable imagery, drawn from mass media and popular culture. From an early age, I have always been fascinated by all works of art. As I have grown older, my love for Pop Art and its simplicity has grown.

When creating my work, I want to stand out not only from others, but from the simplicity of Pop Art as well. I like to make the connection that when Pop Art first started, the world was in a simpler place but now the world has grown to be very complex. Being that I want my work to be more complex than traditional Pop Art, I still want to maintain some sort of simplicity. To do this, I came up with subtle ways to help exaggerate certain aspects of my work. In developing these images, I have used a similar technique throughout. By using simplicity to capture the main subject, I then use exaggeration and color to add complexity and complement.

My current series, ‘A Beautiful Goodbye’ is a combined exploration of my love for Pop Art and my wish to become a standout independent artist. These works reflect everyday life and the transition from simplicity to complexity.
