Who am I
Writing an artist statement is difficult. Much of my work is all over the place in terms of theme and style. What I've made in the past is different from what I want to make in the future, so I think I can really just focus on my interests and goals here.
I am interested in color, in portrayals of women in the media and I am interested in how human activity affects animals and nature.
