"Being of a curious and experimental nature, I love the whole process of making art, even when it takes me in an entirely different direction than what I'd planned. I enjoy the challenge of what I can create and how I can make it work. Making chaos into something that is meaningful and exciting is what the process is all about for me. It's how I grow as an artist. It's where I meet my muse. It's where I find and express joy, and hopefully, bring joy to others."
