As I have mentioned before in many of my art classes, all of my work comes from a very personal place. This is a commonality amongst all the things I create. It starts from something within and once made into a physical piece, I intend for my viewer to connect with it in their own way. My art tells my story but can also tell many others. This semester I have been using this idea of narrative in all of my pieces to help me understand and deal with certain aspects of my life.
