What's your artist statement?

I make art that is minimal yet still provocative. I find myself really inspired by futurism and love heavy patterning. Conceptually I enjoy the frivolous.

What does "art" mean to you?

Art's purpose is to entertain and leave the viewer in a new state. Art that evokes no emotional response is a failure, however no response is too small.

Has Teen Lab helped you grow as an artist?

Teen lab has taught me to experiment with different media and not to limit myself.
