Artist statement
I'm a 23 year old artist. Not just with paint but poetry, music, and more. I'm not just an artist because it's my passion. Painting is my passion, but my art is more about helping people find healing. I want my paintings to bring peace and healing to people across the world. My goal as a artist has always been to change the way people see art as not just paint on a canvas. For people who have anxiety to look and feel peace. Or for depressed people to look at my art and feel comfort. Art is a lot of people's passion but, what makes my art so special is that it's not just for me to express myself. But for me to help others express themselves when they can't quite put their emotions into words. Something for them to relate to and know they are not alone. That's why I also put bible verses and positive words on the back of my art. With my art I hope to spread the gospel, spread positivity, and love.
