BUT WHAT MAKES GREAT ART? 8x10 print
I'm no longer a child, but I'm still playful. (Digital Print)
When people ask how I'm doing, I just say "better."
Bold, bright, and blue; But, I wish I was brave.
Everything's nothing and I'm everything.
Working through it. (Sketch)
I’ll fluff my feathers
how you mde me feel last night
There’s good and there’s bad parts
Alive.
The beginning.
I do feel.
Born and raised in Rural Vermont, I experienced homelessness for the first time at age 14. I evaded displacement with the help of my community through my admittance to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I acquired the skills necessary to create the emotionally provocative work you see today. Although my work is personally motivated it relates to the world at large, as I know my feelings nor experiences are unique to me but rather are a reflection of the time and place I arrived. By speaking on my own experience I hope viewers can broaden their understanding of topics that may be hard to reach, difficult to discuss, or overwhelming so that we may reach a better understanding of each other and the validity in our unique experiences and our inherent differences.
