I try to find humor in life. Because of my struggles with mental health, my world has always been very chaotic and full of awkward moments. Painting things that don’t belong together makes me laugh, for example a man with a candle on his head, hallucinating looking in the trash while a frog sits nearby playing music. Dissimilar images juxtaposed together to create a safe space to process confusing moments or triggering events. Other times I enjoy painting light-hearted pictures of cowgirls with flowers or pet portraits. |
