Artist Statement:
My name is Jaida Hartwick, and a huge part of my life involves animals. You could say that animals are my "why" and keep me inspired to create art. Whether it is a print, painting, or drawing, you will see abstracted animal(s) and nature. By emphasizing the texture and patterns in my pieces, I can honor the deep bond between humans and animals by showing how their presence brings joy, comfort, and resilience. These works invite people to recognize the significance of everyday relationships and expand the conversation about not seeing innocence as naive but as a source of strength. Through my art, I aim to create a sense of community, humanity, and positivity.
