Artist Statement: When I make my art, I use my absolute favorite colors—like the blue of the sky on a really clear day, or the red of my best sneakers. I cut out shapes and put them together to make pictures of my adventures, like going to the moon or finding a secret garden with talking flowers. I want my art to make people feel happy and think about their own adventures.
I make art because it’s fun, and it makes me happy to see all the colors and shapes come together. I hope when people see my art, they feel a little bit of the happiness I feel when I’m making it. Just like Matisse, I want to show that art can be about playing and imagining, and there are no rules to what you can create.
