Artist Statement:
These paintings aim to get you to seek and experiences purposeful recreation. Its that simple; go and do something fun!
A reflection and meditation on personal experiences with youth sports and recreation; the work injects small moments of my friendlier, youthful, and playful of experiences of a former self. They work, in part, as an effort to reconcile and strengthen the bridge connecting my youthful and mature responsibilities.
Let's get it! Let's Go!
