Parker MILGRAM
"Shark Bait," Akua Ink on Paper
"Through concept driven drawings and paintings, I express my personal experiences with neurodivergence, mental illness, emotional intensity, and the “atypical." I loosely apply mediums
to capture an intense energy rooted in abstract emotions. My works from imagination are heavily inspired by abstract expressionism and surrealism, often showcasing nonhuman characters
in colorful environments."
