The strength of art lies in its ability to communicate a unique, subjective experience. Decision making regarding application of medium, color, perspective, stylization, and amount of detail influences how the audience understands the subject, figuratively letting the audience view through the artist’s eyes. This ability to convey the subjective is particularly strong in pieces centering around a narrative, which can craft meaning through layering design with intent. When creating a piece, I draw on my personal experiences with identity, mental health, and growing up in a digital age for the narrative. Starting with a raw emotion or vague association as a core, I use disparate symbols from film, comics, animation, art history, and nature with a unifying mood or genre to construct a scene that expresses that core in a way that connects to my understanding of it and an audience. Depending on the intent of the piece, I chose different media to express the narrative. Ranging from acrylic paintings, watercolors, graphite or charcoal, and digital illustrations. My process focuses on working fast and utilizing experimentation, iteration, and integration of feedback.
