Artist Statement
Art to me is about exploring new and exciting ways to tell stories. Sometimes that means your town is mad at you for putting on an Artificial Intelligence themed art show, sometimes that means people have an emotional response after seeing your mural of Kobe Bryant. Thanks for checking out my work. If you love it, then follow along and join our channels, if you hate it… well then follow along and join our channels!
My art is about being comfortable with yourself and having fun. Enjoy!
