"Created in 2017, Sight path laid a foundation to all future works. A moreliterall image, Sight Path is representing A road from my past which I chose to depict abstractly as it is impossible to create what that moment in time felt to me. The sounds and smells of that time were so unique and vibrant, THe piece was an attempt to go back to that moment, Using the shapes and colors to recreate those moments spent on Blue Hill ave."

Special Instructions
Artist Statement:
I was taught to see all painting as abstract, whether I'm working with recognizable imagery or not. The work strays towards what I consider to be “pure” abstraction, where there's little to no recognizable imagery, but instead is a field of impasto marks and bright moments of color. Working with mixed media broadens opportunities for me to be more flexible with my work, as I am able to bounce between using paint, collage and drawing elements in my Pieces.
It’s very important to me that I paint almost instinctively, trying to remove the burden of whatever insecurities or self doubt comes with finishing and showing work. This painting is a product of that idea. As a child, I can remember sitting on the beach with my fingers in the sand. I wasn't making anything to impress or shock, there was no goal. I was just there, and I did it because I could.
