Designers Statement
It was difficult coming up with an idea for the concept "Life is Better with Art in it," because I couldn't imagine a situation without art. It exists everywhere in objects, people and nature, reviving and evolving through time.
This is why I chose to create a phoenix rising from a pile of ash. It only takes a small spark of inspiration until concept and beauty will flare up and reveal itself to the eye of the beholder. In life, there is inspiration. From inspiration there is art. From art, there is life. Much like a cold pile of ash, an existence without such things is simply dismal.
Ever since I was young, people told me I would become an artist. Throughout the years, my tastes evolved and now I find that love creating digital artworks. It would be a dream to see any design I come up with out in the world for people to see, whether it’s scrolling along the side of a pencil, or painted on a face of a building. Either way, I know I would be able to get a message across; art is how I communicate.
