The Statement

As an aspiring illustrator and character designer I feel that a certain amount of vanity is expected. My chosen path makes it quite clear that I want my work to be both cherished and entertaining. I feel honestly that the characters in my mind were made to be known, that my mental space is a world that should be shared. I am the quintessential extrovert; I experience my work through the eyes of others-real or imagined.
Part of this comes from my desire to be known, truly known. My whole life I have been sharing, risking confidences, and trusting without cause-all in my quest to be known. I want to be seen. For this reason, my work comes from within and is designed to reach others. My work is diverse in both subject and media but it is all ultimately says one thing; I am here.
