Artist Statement: I’m typically more of a realist in my work, but I was very inspired by Abby Diamond. She works with such spontaneous color, creating her work from chaos. I’ve done a few works in her style, but this time I was going for something “ugly.” This is a pivotal piece in my portfolio, setting the pace for things to come.
