Artist Statement
I believe that when creating a piece of art you should be as creative and expressive as possible; your artwork should be a reflection of yourself. However, I believe that expression is not just limited to the kind of art that you create, but that you can express yourself through techniques, colours, etc. I was inspired to create art by need for self expression and creativity. As an artist I wish to show my viewers who I am through my art pieces.
To make my art, I try to always have fun, since I find that this makes the piece more creative and expressive. I also find that by having fun while creating art, you will be happier with the end result; I know that I am. When starting a new piece I like to start with a very basic idea as to how I'd like my piece to look and I work from there. However, I very rarely follow my original idea since as I work through the project I get new ideas or inspirations that pull me in different directions. I also like to try new techniques and/or programs when working on different projects, so that I can keep my art pieces different and interesting for the viewers.
For my most recent pieces, I was really inspired to show that all people in our world are equal and deserve to be treated that way. In the recent piece I have done I feel that the piece that shows this in the most interesting way would be my culture jammer, Pepsi Next With Babies. I truly feel that this piece, through exploiting the tragic use of aborted babies in Pepsi drinks, shows that people are not treated equally because of their development.
