Artist Statement

From my short three semesters at SUNY Oswego, I have grown so much as a person and an artist.  

The art I am presenting is a combination of personal, class, and client work. The range of work and various techniques I have been able to learn through traditional art, digital art, and screen printing influences my work ultimately. It allows me to create work that is more tactile and personal, which helps to stay in tune with my style and client needs.
