About me
I was drawn to art as a child because it made me feel closer to my mother. She was talented in all sorts of arts and crafts, so not a place in my home was without her handiwork. She passed away before I could get to know her. Art was the way I could access her, or at least get close to. My experience with loss is what shapes my mission as an artist. I'm interested in how the living mourns the dead, and how loss can change our perceptions of the world.
My short-term goals are to engage with my community in the arts and intern at galleries. One day I hope to work at a gallery and display my own art.
