Initial Artist Statement/Concentration

I have chosen to focus my artwork on the theme of, "Anxiety." Through my artwork I will attempt to give a unique insight into "anxiety" and how I interpret the subject and also highlight how anxiety affects us and our environment. My initial plans are somewhat literal but I am hoping to incorporate some of my metaphorical and figurative ideas into my pieces to add more depth.
I plan to use acrylic paint and canvas board for a majority of my work but would also like to incorporate mixed media and a variety of other surfaces and methods. I would like my application of these mediums, as well as use of color, to also reflect my underlying theme of anxiety and help to emphasize the point I would like to get across.
In addition, I hope to be able to contribute some of my personal experiences and emotions into my pieces, both to create a stronger effect in my art and also to personalize my work. I hope to learn as much about my own self as I plan to further my talents and abilities and perception.
