• Artist Statement

  My artwork was made while I was going through difficult times. I chose to create a painting based off of an inspiration I saw online. As a way to be resourceful I used recycled cardboard instead of canvas to create my acrylic painting. First, I drew a sketch of a cat sitting on a swing hanging on the branch of a tree. I used the colors deep purple, hot pink and calm blue to create a pretty sunset skies as the background. Painting is my therapy. It calms me and improves my mental health by helping me not think about the stresses in my life.

• Creative Statement

  Expressing my creativity impacts my life because it helps me express my emotions and feelings. Drawing and painting are my therapy and gives me hope.
