My Artist Statement

Not only as an artist but also as a human my ultimate goal has been to bring joy and laughter to peoples lives. Being an artist allows me to accomplish this goal in a very effective manner. I believe my artistry expands beyond just the stage but also into every moment that I live. Every time I enter a room I look to find a way to bring humor with me, even if the means of bringing humor makes me look like a fool. 

Beyond just humor there are many other aspects that influence my artistry. My search for knowledge and understanding also seeps into my artistry. I believe performing allows one to gain a better understanding of the world. It is this understanding that I not only wish to gain myself but also help others gain as well. I believe through art we can see humanity in its rawest form and this pure essence of humanity, to me, is quite beautiful. 

Finally, one of the major aspects that has influenced my artistry is the sense of community that theater creates. There are so many different ways that theater creates a sense of community for me. From creating new bonds with people I just met in a production to seeing movies and plays with my friends and family. Having the opportunity to be a part of the theater community is one of the main reasons I started acting in the first place. Being able to connect with people is truly a beautiful thing and is something I feel has been lacking from the world. Every day I feel people grow farther and farther apart, but through theater and performance I can help bring people back together.
