Artist’s Statement
At eight years old, I thought I was done as an artist the day I walked away from my teacher’s studio and his unhealthy teaching methods. I was wrong. Over ten years later, I’m restarting. Using an iPhone camera, Photoshop, and my critical eye, I create the scenes I’m unable to draw by hand. I hope you see from “Teak” that even if you lack an art background, it’s never too late to start.
