• Artist Statement

  As a visual artist, I am most drawn to portraiture. In this painting I captured my subject’s mood by emphasizing her large, soulful eyes. I used bright colors and contrast to brings out her pensiveness and allows the viewer to sense her vulnerability. I hope to draw viewers in as they feel a connection to my subject and contemplate their own thoughts and feelings while viewing Maxxxine.

• Creative Statement

  To me creativity means the way you interpret the world around you.
