Artist Statement

My visual art and poetry invite the audience to join me in subliming our emotions and exploring our shared human nature, and together, we may all learn to be more understanding of this world and still find ways to be ourselves. My inspiration comes mainly from my personal experience, observations, and understanding of human beings’ existence in this world—the struggle we go through to survive (get by), thrive, and become happy and content.

I often use strong colors and mixed media. My artworks often feature reflective materials in the mixed media, especially color foil. Color foil tape/paper generates brilliant, flowy, changing colors as a person moves in the space to view the artworks from different angles, informing the audience that truth can be multi-faceted.
