Artist Statement
I am a senior at Cambellsville University and I am studying to become a designer. I have goals to change peoples perception about mundane objects and scenarios and turning them into something more relatable and beautiful. My interests pushed me to the further my education in certain subjects. I’m prepared to move onto bigger projects like game design and character design eventually.
The kind of psychology attached to graphic design is what attracted me to reaching my full potential there. When I found out about Campbellsville University it changed my perspective and that made me see the exact potential of my art.
My work is a reflection of my spirit and I hope my audience can see that. I half as much as how I internalize certain aspects of it. The work exhibits my love for animals and the inspiration I gather from my surroundings living in the eastern countryside of Kentucky. Family life doesn’t inspire me as much as the nature and our connections to it do. The humble recognition is seen more in my traditional style work, but I have been able to mold the two of my interests.
