Relating to my pieces from my slide presentation, my artist statement is as follows:
As an artist, it is my goal to represent the world as I see it, so others may see it that way too. My hope is that my perspective is interesting enough to hold the attention of my viewers. Furthermore, I wish to get people thinking. I want those who are rigid minded to open up and imagine different possibilities, I want those who are without humor to find laughter, and I want those who have limited themselves to understand that the limitations that they endure are put in place only by themselves, and almost always can be overcome.
My work displays my struggle between realism and illustrative design. Realism being the exact replication of an object viewed from life, and design being a representation of a thing that does not exist. My desire is to connect the two, rather than battle with both of them. The day that I juxtapose those two ways of creating, will be the day that I have achieved the success I am looking for.
