The most poignant part of creating art is to have the chance to create something only I can see, and put it into being for others to experience. I like to think that when I create a work of art, I am translating. It is translating a language unique to my mind into a visual product that others will have the chance to interpret. What an adventure it is to constantly take inspirations and make them into tangible creations for all to see.
My creative process starts with a pencil in my right hand, a sheet of paper that will welcome the pencil’s lead, and an image in my mind. My pencil is the bridge between my mind and the paper. Most of the ideas I generate are from spontaneous, abrupt thoughts. During the creative process, more spontaneous thoughts are born, continuously adding fresh ideas to the work. Concerning materials, my favorite material is whatever is unexpected. If the viewer is expecting a silk, chiffon gown embellished with beads and crystals, I will give them balloon ends and butterfly wings. To me, the use of any object, material, or medium that gives a viewer reason to question what they see is an example of the successful use of that medium. In my work, there is no concrete pattern other than what is visible to the eye. I choose the medium and materials first and let the inspiration come from ways of using the material.
Currently I am experimenting with different mediums in addition and alternative to fabric. I tend to be inspired by a wide range of work and objects that greatly affect anything from what medium I choose to use to the way my illustrations look. As of recently, I am inspired by illustrators
such as Edward Gorey, Mark Ryden, Tim Burton, and other masterminds. This is a challenge for my design aesthetic because I never thought that I would be able to relate so genuinely with such macabre work. I am learning that to create successful art, it must be honest and true. Honest artwork is simply artwork that shows feeling and can speak for itself. The only way to create work that speaks for itself is to put what you felt into it. The viewer is seeing a visual product of your emotions. In that way, my work is honest
