Artist Statement

     These days we're so accustomed to the technology around us that it's hard to believe it blew up into what we have in just a few decades. What we are able to do with technology has advanced rapidly over what was just one generation. Personally I find video games, and the idea of being able to interact with the media itself, the most fascinating. Today some of the graphics, and motions, look so real that you could forget it was all computer generated. I wish to one day learn how to create these people, animals, monsters, and much more. I want to make these worlds come alive. 
      I've always been a big fan of horror, so most of my art is usually inspired by this. I can't really explain why, but I've always been fascinated with how scared these movies or stories made me feel, even though I knew they weren't real. Last year a game was released on the PlayStation 4 called The Evil Within. At first I thought "how good could a horror video game really be?", but as soon as I saw the game being played I was quickly drawn to it. This game has a great plot, interesting characters and lots of jump scares. I knew I wanted to get into the media industry, and I knew I wanted to create art, but I never thought of video games. After I saw this game I realized that creating characters and monsters, giving them stories, and being able to interact with my creations, is what I hope to one day be able to do.
