As a hearing impaired person I use my artwork to create communication. The silence allows me to focus on how to connect with my audience by using colors, textures, or even words. I want the viewer to feel raw emotion and self-reflection, thus creating their own internal conversation. 
​
​The balance and intrigue of a project comes to fruition when I can combine multi-layers of materials to create my pieces. Before I start that session I have already visualized the finished product. But sometimes it grows and evolves in a new direction, like a person with different strengths and personalities.
