STATEMENT OF INTENT

What interests or drives you?

This past semester I have found a new passion for painting, I find I am driven by the actual process of painting and the different ways I can apply the paint. I'm interested in using different techniques and materials within my work to create different visions.

What materials do you think might best serve your investigations? what media/areas do you intend to explore?

Acrylic paint works best with my style of painting, through experimenting I have figured out what mixes well to create the kind of finish I like. Recently I have been using things like mousse and oil to create different textures within the paint and I plan to continue this through the semester.

How will you measure your success?

For me, I measure my success on how much personal gratification I get from my work. While I enjoy other people liking my work, it means more that I am happy with what I'm creating, if I'm happy with my work and have confidence in presenting it that, to me, is a successfull piece.
