I believe my work is to focus my mind and heart on the events and emotions I experience daily, in order to harvest the seeds of beauty that exist there.
My artwork often features dark themes, such as sadness, loneliness, and vague feelings of unease, but by filtering them through the adorable and guilelessly humorous qualities of dolls, I am able to incorporate laughter and a sense of fondness, perhaps helping to me to sublimate these disconsolate emotions.
