ARTIST STATEMENT & BIOGRAPHY
To me, to be an artist is to express a way of life in my own unique manner. When I take photos, I look at how they relate to me at that moment in time. If I’m happy, I’m more inclined to take brighter photos. If I’m sad, I take darker photos, or none at all. If it weren’t for the APP, I would not be where I am today, or have gotten as far as I have. In one way or another, all of our assignments have impacted me and helped me grow as a person and artist. With the help of APP, my work made it to VSA Ohio.
I was born in Canton, Ohio, and moved to Athens in the spring of 2013. Photography has been a passion of mine since I was a child, and I joined the Athens Photographic Project in 2013. I appreciate how accepting my classmates and instructor are of me and my photographs; I have not felt this kind of acceptance very often in my life, so it is important to me. Photography allows me to express myself better than words do, and helps me feel at peace and centered. Right before I take a picture, my mind temporarily stops racing, and I feel at ease.
