• Artist Statement

  This piece is an exploration of who I really am and who I pretend to be. Sometimes these people feel separate as if my mind is a different person than the one controlling my body.

• Creative Statement

  To me, creativity is survival. It's the way that I cope, it's how I deal with my grief and share my happiness. It's how I communicate and how I learn. I can't imagine how I could live without creative expression.
