hive forest by Ro Stastny
My art has no consistency. Though I gravitate to certain colors, shapes, or subject matters more so than others, I cannot be bound to one style or one medium. I live in a state of agitation and restlessness. Everything I make is a representation of what I am feeling and what inspires me in that particular moment in time, and can never be recreated.
