Artist Statement

My artwork takes inspiration from social, political and cultural issues. In my work, I use a retro theme with bright, contrasted colors to grab the public's attention. 70s and 80s color schemes are my favorite to work with because the colors are bold just like the message I'm trying to get across. I use my art as a way to heal from past trauma as well as to keep my family's memory and history alive. My purpose of these pieces is to spark a change or invoke a feeling in the hearts of those who view them. I may be one person, and change may be hard to ignite, but I believe that even if one person can relate or feel something from my work then it is all worth it.
