Most of my abstract paintings are filled with bright colors that make me happy. My favorite techniques are using rubber bands and feathers. My paintings are unplanned. I never know how they will end until the colors” pop.”
I am inspired and motivated to paint because it makes me happy and gives me something to do when I am alone. My only sibling and best friend, Zach, was killed in a motorcycle accident in 2011. The isolation of my studio gave me freedom to create. My paint and canvas do not judge me because I have autism. Painting helped me get through a really challenging time just like it helps me deal with everyday problems. Painting is my profession and a big part of my therapy. I have always been isolated due to my disability, but it makes me happy to hear people say that they like my art. Art connects me to my community and to the larger art world. I am grateful for the opportunities that art gives me.
