When I am creating art, I am shedding my experiences, my emotional defenses, and my own insecurities. I am harnessing that negative energy into a cathartic experience through artistic self-expression. I use art to convey my hidden dialogue, to express the indescribable, to expose the internal for something of substance in return. My goal is to always connect with the viewer, whether that be an experience, a perspective, or a state of mind. 

Vivian Meyer has just been an overwhelming impact on my journey because I felt the ability to relate to her background. Meyer was an introvert who was rarely seen in her works as she most likely preferred anonymity. Although successful after death she had little to no artistic training during her life, she was conflicted between her passion and her basic need for income. But above all her work evokes a sense of isolation if misery loves company, the lonely crave connection. 

                   I sense this desire for a connection to the viewer amongst my peers through their own art. And it is here that my art and others collide idealistically, as we both share a common goal, to be understood. I want above all else not for others to be able to relate to all themes or even any at all, but to be validated as having a conscious human experience just like anyone else. I have no reservations towards discussion covering my work, I believe in its meaningfulness. That by expressing it creatively I am already at the ultimate point of vulnerability with the viewer and my world.
