Mahala Chilson-Revised Artist Statement

Art is valuable because it tells a story in a different way than an audience would hear. As an artist, I love finding inspiration and turning it into my style of art. I have a passion for design and enjoy the process of brainstorming how I might include a specific detail I want to showcase in my work. Color has always been important to me. It is a powerful tool that is used to create meaning and is one of the many reasons I create art. I enjoy painting, my favorite medium is watercolor and acrylic. I always create aesthetic color schemes and textures in my work. 

For me, my art represents peace and beauty because of the technique of the pieces and the overall result. As an artist, I am able to create artwork that sheds light on a bigger issue. The environment is a very important topic for me and I want my artwork to show others the beauty of the natural environment. I am committed to always putting in my best work and problem-solving to complete a project for the greatest result.
