Artist Statement: 
I am an abstract artist whose work is bright and colorful. My work aims to combat the darkness and negativity in the world by showcasing cheerfulness, playfulness, creativity, and imagination. If someone looks at my art and smiles, then it has fulfilled its purpose. My work is three-dimensional, formed of many found objects, and celebrates the beauty of recycling. Moreover, I am the founder of the “Conscious Perceptionalism” art practice which prompts viewers to look at my art from 360-degree angles. There is no left, right, up, or down–every individual can choose the direction from which they find my work most pleasing to look upon.
