“When I was around five, a close family friend told my mother I was someone who only knew how to feel at full volume. If I was happy, you could hear it for miles. If I was upset, the downward spiral would be deafening. Twenty years later, this observation still holds true.”
The pieces in this collection are a reflection of a life felt at full volume. No brush stroke was pre-meditated, but rather a visceral reaction to an idea, image, or emotion that at some point became loud enough to feel. Experiencing life at such high volumes gripped me for the first quarter of my life, transforming these feelings into art has brought me a future of movement, joy, and healing.
