BFA THESIS 2020
My abstract and non-objective paintings are inspired by concepts relating to mental health, life experiences, and gender. I manifest these ideas through textures, surface quality, and materials such as paint, oil pastel, and graphite. My current body of work emphasizes the contrast between historically binary art forms such as warm and cool colors, light and dark values, organic and geometric shapes, and a palette of neutral toned colors to infer the middle ground of both.
My paintings utilize design elements and principles of art such as line, color, value, and repetition as I’ve found some of the most basic building blocks of art to be the most inspiring.
