Artist Statement
When I was eight years old my parents took me to the Grand Canyon for my
birthday.
We ate at a fancy restaurant overlooking the Canyon and I can still conjure
a clear picture of the waiter
bringing me a candle topped dessert. I remember looking down to see that my
dessert had gold flakes
sprinkled on top, I was in awe. It was beautiful. It was at that moment I
decided I wanted to create beautiful
things as well. I wanted to be a chef. What a magical moment.
As I started the journey to become a chef many other moments shaped my life.
The people I met, the jobs I took, and like most people, my dream evolved. I
moved from the hotel’s kitchen to the front desk. For years I worked at the
front desk of beautiful five star resorts. Looking back it was an easy
transition for me. I still enjoyed cooking but I didn’t want to do it full
time. My decision to study hotel and restaurant management was comfortable
but not fulfilling.
Again my dream evolved when one day I started to paint. I found my passion
in painting and I have not stopped creating since.
I share my hospitality background here because I find it ironic that now as
an artist the pieces I create are perfect for hotels and the interior design
field. The years I spent staring at contemporary artwork clearly made an
impression that I was unaware of until recently.
My desire is to create artwork that is beautiful, artwork that will evoke
emotion, and hopefully make you smile. My favorite quote is by Renior. He
said, “Why shouldn’t art be beautiful, there are enough unpleasant things in
the world already.” I don’t know where this journey will take me. My art
will change as I evolve and grow as an artist, but the dream the eight year
old had to create will not.
