Artist Statement
As a painter and printmaker, I am constantly exploring the concept of incidental learning and how it has shaped my perception of the world around me. Incidental learning is the unintentional learning that occurs when we observe and absorb information without consciously trying to do so. For me, this has been a crucial aspect of my development as an artist.
Growing up deaf, I was always acutely aware of my surroundings and had to rely heavily on my visual sense. This heightened awareness of my environment has greatly influenced my artistic style and subject matter. My paintings and prints often feature physical ephemera, photographs, and objects, capturing the beauty in the mundane and overlooked. I aim to communicate the unique perspective and insights that come from living in a world where sound is not a primary source of information.
