"Water, my favorite element, is forever evolving. Water is one place where i feel physically and mentally free after becoming paralyzed. In this piece, I've incorporated different consistencies of paint, allowing the natural interactions and movement to happen on the canvas. As a result, I highlight the beauty of all the detailed imperfections. This may reflect the recovery of my lifelong battle with perfectionism. After acquiring a disability, I’ve learned acceptance of the beautiful imperfect world around us and imperfections in each other. I have a new appreciation the beauty of the present moment. I use a range of techniques and unconventional tools, i.e., using the wheels from my wheelchair to move fluid paints or create track marks. I encourage viewers to see the wheelchairs as tools or catalysts that can move things forward or create change as opposed to having negative connotations of adaptive equipment or disabilities. The track marks on my painting give the piece movement but also represent the idea that everyone makes an important mark in this world which should be embraced. Throughout the journey of life, through ups and downs, everything eventually comes full circle. My swirls are a symbol of life’s continuity which lead the viewer’s eye on a journey and then back to where it started. Similar to the challenges, ups and downs and adversities, we come back to a place where we were meant to be."
