For a long time leading into college I was stressed about the idea of not having a recognizable style, but there is something about seeing some of your work together as a whole that allows an ability to see the big picture. I really enjoy trying new materials in art making and often like to cross between those different mediums. I also tend to stick to similar themes and I find nature and anatomy to be very inspiring in my work. When looking at other artists, I gravitate to surrealism, modern and contemporary art; which I think is something that shows through in many of my pieces. I didn’t show much of my earlier work, but I did experiment more with abstract art for a moment. I am still quite drawn to more of a realism and an impressionistic approach, but I enjoy finding space where I can combine all of those qualities. More recently, which again I didn’t show, I have been in progress of experimenting with embroidery and also combining drawing with fabrics.
