Artist Statement 

      When I think about nature, there is the desire to be outside and experience the weather, sounds, and atmosphere. A limiting factor of being outside is the missing comforts of being inside with comfy chairs, outlets, and regulated temperature. In order to combine these desirable factors of nature and indoors, the images created have an attitude of these combined environments coexisting for a hybrid setting. Evolving from this initial idea was the realization of how much time is spent inside a highly controlled and fairly bland room in classes while not being able to spend much time outside. This was aided in the decision making process to mix the nature into the inside environment with adding trees, plants, and animals.As for the inside I wanted to lift the comfortable elements of the inside that are not usually found outside that would encourage the choice to spend time in nature such as a couch. Instead of using the stark contrast of complementary colors or the closeness of analogous colors, the pallet is majorly green and orange where the color pairing lies between these two extremes. This to complement the coexisting elements of the elements from the outside and inside worlds, but still allowing there to be visual distinctions. I wanted to keep the vibrancy of the colors in the objects to simulate the vibrancy of both the inside and nature that uncovers itself when the person is enjoying the environment.
