As an artist, I find it a responsibility to understand the evolution of art from its simplest form to the more complex. Therefore, my content is based around the concept of the modern Neolithic, which I feel contains four main ideas or points of content; emotion, pragmatic utility, architecture, and the collective unconscious. I have always had a fascination with the emotions people exhibit and how they react in the everyday. The abstract/romantic utility that I have established in my work is based on the small jeweled details we see each day, and how much we take each for granted and how our future generations will view them. Architecture has always found a way into my work, from being directly referenced to being placed hidden within the work. The way we value architecture as more than a shelter has always interested me. Conceptually thinking, the utility and emotions I focus on are in a sense trying to connect to that of the collective unconscious. The Collective Unconscious has been a focal point in my art for a long time as I view the abstract term as found in color, shapes, and universal ideas.
            Although the content behind my work starts its foundation, the form creates and holds the rest. Much of my work has asymmetrical balance and a strong predilection towards imperfection over perfection. The imperfect is more appealing to me than the perfect, especially in the world today of smooth flawlessness. Many of my forms are organic in shape and are strongly disposed to heavy, yet thin. Often these jagged lines lend to the emotion within my work, a result of the Expressionist influence in my work. On the other hand, I use organic or full shapes to contrast my lines. My work is usually economical with the media, pushing the most out of a single material. I tend to use bold colors, often high in saturation and diverse tones with the color schemes being earthen or pastel. These color schemes help to create a contrast between the negative space of black or white while creating emphasis. The negative space in my work is often minimal and operates with the idea that the actual work must breathe within a certain volume of space. 
            I have been infatuated with art since I was young; however, I did not pursue it in college until my second year at Hagerstown Community College (HCC). After spending a year studying engineering, I decided to reignite my passion for art. During my time studying at HCC, I studied under the artist Janet Sigelman Salter, where I furthered my study into the art movement of Expressionism, due to its use of both emotions and the full body. Working primarily in that movement I focused on two-dimensional planes. I graduated from HCC with two Associates of Arts degrees, one in Graphic Design and one in Visual Art. While there I was also awarded the Ben Jones Merit in Art Award upon graduation. After which I began my study at Shippensburg University with a multitude of professors whom all opened my mind to different possibilities in media and helped to hone my existing skills. I graduated from Shippensburg University in May of 2018.
