My childhood self only would connect
being an artist to people that paint, draw, sculpt, ya know the things we did
in art class. So for me now to call myself, or in the near future, to call
myself an artist is something bizarre but exciting. It’s safe to say that I
don’t have any background or experience when it comes to making art, which scares
me for the upcoming tasks. Even this artist statement scares me. Media mediums like TV and film have always inspired and influenced me, making me want to dive into this world that for so long was just a fantasy.
I’ve always loved TV,
specifically sitcoms. Watching a group of friends that you can so easily relate
to your own, and watch them as if they are your own. Classics like Cheers, Frasier, Everyone Loves Raymond,
Friends, Will & Grace, and
Seinfeld… (I could go on and on) have all helped make fond memories, whether it was watching them with my family or friends, or just me and my cat. And although I can’t promise that my work will
reflect a sitcom, I hope my work brings the same kind of interest and
entertainment that TV has brought me.
I want my art to be inspiring,
even if it is only myself who finds inspiration. I want my art to make people
smile, even if it isn’t suppose to be funny. I want my art to stand the test
the of time, even if I can’t.
