When considering themes for my artwork, I start by observing the world around me. I am continuously fascinated by everyday occurrences that some could take for granted. I start with a simple observation then exaggerate colors or shapes to make the image more impactful. My artwork appreciates the beauty that common objects or ideas hold, and enhances the space around the artwork.
