Art is self language, a language that no one knows but you. Art is us in our travel, trying to translate it, trying to make others see it and relate it to their own lives. I started painting for the same reason I started biking—to escape, and I paint the same way that I mountain bike. I never know what lies around the next corner or beyond the next peak. The trails go up and down, and geography that was there centuries before me is unique in my perspective in my life in my time. With painting, the path may be planned in advance, but the end result is built with layers of instinct, impulse, with no predetermined end result.
Each painting captures a moment. My most recent show, titled”#mylove”, was my way of showing outwardly where I am in this moment in time as a painter and a person. Showing the work, which in this case was not for sale, was my voice in the universe, my conveyance of who I am, right now.
Since I am completely self-taught, each series of paintings helps me evolve. My instinctual process is all I know. When you are in my studio, you see a messy pallet because I choose colors based on what I feel, what is closest to me, what makes sense to me, regardless of color theory. I will not become a professor; all I want is to create.
Each painting grows differently based on my mindset and what matters to me in the moment. It is me writing my own story to read aloud, even if to no one but myself.
First, find yourself. Then express yourself, whether others receive it or not.
