Artist Statement: Creating art is my ultimate escape from the daily stresses and struggles of this adventure many call life. Ever since I can remember, I have loved art and color. Something about color, whether I’m simply observing color, wearing color, or working with color, sparks some sort of motivational force within me. I am my own worst enemy when it comes to creating things. I have always been very doubtful in my ability to use color in a way I can feel positive about. In my experience with creating art, I’ve never successfully been able to recreate myself on any sort of medium, until this piece. Creating this portrait allowed me to separate myself from all of the negative energy that manifests when I regularly make art. I wanted to look at my first self portrait and be able to absorb positive energy for once. Working with color has allowed me to put all of the self deprecating thoughts and negative energy I have aside, long enough to create something I can feel positive about.
