I am an artist from Nashville, Tennessee.
I have a rare neurological condition called synesthesia that influences my work, where information that is meant to stimulate one of the senses stimulates several of the senses.
Being a synesthete...
I see sounds, music, feelings, and voices as colour.
I am passionate about...
introducing emotion and humanity into the digital space and to show just how vibrant the world can be through the eyes of someone with autism.
When I'm creating...
I can get things out more clearly. It is the only way I've really ever been able to accurately describe my autism and the differences I experienced growing up.
A lot of my art comes from old pots and pans...
I use the copper on the bottom and use different angles and light reflections with it.
It really reflects my synesthesia and how I see things with textures that flash across my eyes whenever I experience a sensation.
I have major sensory issues because of my autism...
so I have aversions to different textures and touch. It was frustrating at first because the different touches of paint were too much for my body, so I was very lost for a while until the age of digital art.
The first time I went on photoshop, something just clicked within me.
I hope my art gives some sense that...
you’re not alone, that other people are going through the same things and have experienced it.
That’s why I think ARTXV is so big, because it gives that representation that hasn’t really been there before - and an accurate one - we are autistic and expressing our art.
