I paint my experiences of the world and its inhabitants with color, composition and texture through a filter rooted in memory and the echo of emotional characteristics related to those individuals alongside past events, situations and relationships. I explore and decipher how those interactions have shaped my life and have contributed to my personal growth and how my understanding informs my everyday actions. “Affect the Effect” is a series of paintings that act as a direct reflection of my experiences and my desire to share the truth about the power we possess to overcome doubt and express ourselves in ways that are both unique and universal at the same time. We are the creator and we truly can “Affect the Effect” in and of our lives and sculpt them into that which we desire.
