Art Statement

I am a multidisciplinary intuitive artist whose dynamic mixed-media works explore interconnectedness, resilience, and the evolving relationship between self, technology, nature, and humanity. I create layered compositions that merge traditional and progressive techniques, crafting artistic expression with immersive narratives that inspire reflection, spark dialogue, and bridge activism.

Full Art Statement

As a multidisciplinary artist, I am driven by the thrill of unpredictability and the vibrant energy of mixed media. My work explores contemporary life in an era of anthropocentrism, drawing from painting, glass, and collage to illuminate the interconnectedness of our world.
A recurring thread throughout my work is the act of repetition—a process I find deeply cathartic. This repetition mirrors the cyclical rhythms of life, reflecting both destruction and renewal.
My creative process is underpinned by automatism and expressionism, an approach I embraced during my years of printmaking, serving as an initial conduit for ideas that gradually materialize and evolve through successive layers of my work. Working spontaneously on a large scale, I balance meticulous detail with broader, looser passages that reflect my design aesthetic, creating an ebb and flow that draws viewers into dialogue with the artwork.
I move beyond mere replication of visual reality, treating each piece as an interpretation shaped by research, symbolism, and layered meaning. Geometric motifs often reference urban expansion and land demarcation, while symbols drawn from diverse cultures and events help distill the complexity of our world into a coherent narrative. Through this process, I explore the interplay of humans, nature, and technology, embracing both challenges and the possibilities for harmonious coexistence.
Each piece begins with random markings and colors, evolving into intricate forms and compositions. Years of training and practice have honed my ability to craft works that engage and challenge the viewer. My art reflects the beauty and complexity of the world around us, serving as both a call to action for protecting our planet and a beacon of hope amid contemporary turmoil.

''And it's in that place of feeling the Earth's injuries, and feeling it with each other-that the alchemy emerges. It's in the cauldron of sharing our grief with our community, of gazing at it together and not looking away, that the heartbreak turns to hope. Hope, an ability  to work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed. We struggle between two contrasting  views of humanity: one driving to a technological endgame of artificially enhanced humans, the other enabling a sustainable future arising from our intrinsic connectedness with each other and the natural world."

"I always know what I want but I never know what it looks like. 
All I know is that when a painting is finished,
something I can't describe in words vibrates and activates my spirit."  -Tina
