‘Overwhelming, emotional expression encapsulates my newest series appropriately entitled ‘the Distressed Series’. A small group of pieces that display different forms of human expression at a time of heightened stress.

 

Creation of this series began at the peak of our national pandemic during the shutdown. For me as a visual artist, I open myself to feel, interpret and then create what I absorb mentally, physically and visually. The result of the emotions I experienced during the pandemic are represented in this Distressed series. 

 

Expression for me is utilizing a limited color palette then combining it with its contrasting medium and texture. This creates an energetic dance of emotions that affect each individual viewer differently, providing their own personal experience.
