The large tree from my childhood backyard is my sanctuary. I love to return and lay beneath it. The wind moves through the branches, causing all the leaves to dance in hypnotic flashes of color. The sound makes me quiet and still. It draws me in.

 

I try to recreate this experience with my art. I want to paint movement with slashes of color, and create lines that can twist and fly off the page. I want to take the technological and tactile, and combine them to form an experience that leaves people wanting more. The combination of movement, color, and sound can make art come alive. I am a designer with a longing to combine paint, illustration, motion, and media yet to be discovered together to create wonder.
