Artist Statement

My imagination is always running wild. Ever since I was a child I saw things on television, video games, and movies that would leave me asking questions like, “how did they do that, or “how can I make that?” When I found out about graphic design I was instantly hooked. The ability to fuse art and technology is what draws me to it the most. I often find myself obtaining creativity from the things I see on a daily basis. I enjoy looking at other artist works for inspiration, such as Avatar the science fiction film directed, written, and produced by James Cameron.

What I hope to portray in my artwork is excitement. I sometimes research what society is watching and pay close attention to how they rate these several genres of work. From what I have studied, some genres of film, for example Horror, is losing luster. I feel as though I can contribute to the revival of such a genre by implementing several techniques that have worked in the past along with new techniques that I can bring to the table.  And that is why I chose Media Studies as my major, I hope to refine my skills as an artist in order to implement the ideas in my head and bring them to life.

I do not want to become limited to one type of artwork. I want to be able to broaden my horizons so that I can work in multiple fields. Being able to work in film, animation, and even music, would be a dream come true. Like the saying goes, find something you love to do and you won't work a day in your life.
