As an artist, I enjoy to draw inspiration from comfort. I want my art to evoke comfort or nostalgia. My process is heavily inspired from my back ground of charcoal drawing, it was a medium I found worked well for me and came somewhat easy which lead to a transition to oil painting. Most of my influence is from physical things around me that feel like comfort, like my first couch in my first apartment. Using two mediums I love with objects I find comfort in, make the pieces I create feel easy. The need to create comfort I think comes from my major of Art Therapy. Knowing what art therapy can provide, drives me to create that sense in others. I hope to allow others to tap into the nostalgia and comfortability that I feel from these.
