• Artist Statement

  This piece, "Lights Up", expresses a light in the dark. The crinkled paper - done with graphite - expresses the feeling of heartbreak, while the colorful background - done with chalk pastels - depicts the hope that still lies within us. This piece was inspired by my love of music and how you can still find beauty within a sad song.

• Creative Statement

  Exploring and expressing my creativity impacts my life by allowing me to show others how I view the world and bring a little bit of joy. I enjoy using bright and fun colors while also creating realistic pictures within my work to show a lighter and happier side of life.
