I believe that through art we can see the world from others’ perspectives. Art gives us the ability to understand and empathize with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I create art that reflects my experiences as a female to bridge the gap between individuals. I use art to create pieces that speak about the flexibility and adaptability of a woman today. I am drawn to smooth, organic flowing shapes. Organic shapes are irregular and imperfect like the female form and their lives'. I focus on the unpredictable curves and the flow they create. I believe this speaks of the form of the female body. I use bright colors and floral patterns to capture the soft, warm and empathetic side of a woman and large dominating forms to speak about their strength.
