Creating art has really opened me up to the world. It is what made me read books, listen to different music, look at politics, and just see things in a different way. It seems the more art I do, the more ideas and experiences I am exposed to. My process is a process of creation - I think of things, or stumble on things, and make things that I never thought could exist. Every time I speak to someone and divulge that I am an artist, I am immediately asked, “What kind of art do you do?” It is always a hard question for me to answer. I usually tell them, “Well I get an idea and I try to find the best way to work with it. It could be a sculpture, video, performance, installation, or a photograph. I guess you could call me a conceptualist.” That being said, the inspiration for my works and ideas are drawn from daily life. I do not feel obligated to one idea or theme, because I don’t think that’s the way life works.
