Artist Statement
Artists Statement:
My work is diverse, but holds the same feeling in each pastel painting. I want to look on the positive and bright side of things. Free watercolor splatters, unrealistic colors in still life, and beautiful faces can be seen in my work. Ultimately, I want to give my viewers a window of happiness to look into.
