Artist Statement: Music is what fuels us - it brings emotions to those who listen or create it. Music can bring us up whenever we're feeling down, or calm us down whenever we've been having a frustrating day. I want all of my artwork to provoke a feeling, a mood, that was inspired through music. Most of my pieces are my visuals from listening to my favorite music artist while driving. The artist have spectacular use of imagery throughout their songs allowing my imagination to create the picture in my head before I produce it on paper for others to see and for my own documentation of my vivid mind.

"Computers are useless. They can only give you answers." -Pablo Picasso
