My artwork is about the beauty of imperfection. I want my paintings to show unusual faces that have been created in my head and put onto canvas with beautiful colors and shapes. It truly interests me to show expressions that would usually be considered ugly and unflattering.

It has always scared me to attempt to draw or paint realistic appearing faces. I would always be so frustrated with the outcome because I was intensely aware of what I wanted it to look like, but the results would never satisfy me and meet my expectations. At some point in my life I just decided that I didn't want to recreate real life, instead I wanted to reimagine life. It was then that I started understanding myself and my intentions with art. It became exciting and fulfilling to make my own faces come to life. There were no restrictions and I could show my own emotions through my artworks.

It has been a struggle for me to understand and accept my femininity and through my works it has helped me to believe in the beauty of delicacy and vulnerability. Once there is added a contrast of ugliness and disgust everything merges together and something effectual happens. As my style has evolved, androgyny started to become very important to me. Being able to confuse the viewer and question their understanding of gender. Getting asked whether or not the face was female or male, was hard to answer, when the truth was there was no intended gender in the making of the faces.

As much as I enjoy the process of first creating and sketching out the face/creature, I also enjoy transforming an entire persona by experimenting with the color palette. The choice of colors are sometimes random and I think that in the end everything falls to place and the face will be intertwined with the understanding of the colors.

Growing up with very creative parents, they have inspired and taught me that art has no limitations. Instead of always seeking their approval I have valued their criticism and feedback.

The future of my art is hopefully filled with development and I wish to push myself further and expand my own universe of my faces and creatures. Introducing thoughts and ideas on a higher level.
