Personal Statement: My current series of artwork merges two seemingly opposing genres. My appreciation for decorative arts and the importance of objects has led me to develop a fascination for antique frames. Additionally, I am intrigued by the abstract and expressionism that characterized modernism that was introduced to America with the 1913 Armory Show. This particular moment in American art history captivates me as it heralded a new form of painting that challenged realism. My current collection of paintings is mainly influenced by White’s photograph Drops of Rain, John Singer Sargent’s expressive brushstrokes, the early female American abstract painters, and how I perceived text on paper as a young reader with learning challenges. In my work, I aim to incorporate the idea of hidden messages through the use of layers of abstraction.
