Artist Statement
My artwork conveys emotion through contrast, geometric shapes, typography,
and saturated color. I use typography as a starting point for design. I am drawn to
typefaces that have elements of texture to convey drama, as illustrated in my piece
“Don’t Be Afraid to Fail Be Afraid Not to Try.” I use geometric shapes as building blocks
for having a specific pattern throughout my design. This simple element corresponds to
the texture within the typography I choose. Saturated color selection is a major staple in
my artwork because it enables contrasts to be shown through all instances. I use color to
create visual appeal as well as emotions of interest and happiness. These elements are
what I strive for throughout my design work and in my studio work.
I am strongly influenced by the De Stijl movement and pop art of Andy Warhol.
The De Stijl movement emphasized simple elements of line and shape to create texture
and movement throughout. The purpose of the piece displays elements of clarity that
are caused by the simple straight forward elements. Pop Art is best described through
saturated colors, used to create focal points. Layering that displays depth that makes the
artwork more appealing. In my studio work, this is an important element of what I look
to do. For example, in the piece “Penny” there are many different layers that overlap
throughout the drips as well as color.
