On the Topic of Transformation
On the topic of transformation, I wanted to write a few words about the habits that make us. I find it so interesting that we like to think we are in control when 40% of the actions performed daily aren’t decisions but habits, according to a study performed at Duke. Our thoughts, how we react, the foods we eat, how often we check social media and more are often carried out in autopilot mode. I am acutely aware of how habits run my life and I have had to harness them in order to transform who I am. I appreciate big changes such as a move across country because it gives me the ability to jump-start the transition into new habits and therefore acquire new thoughts, new patterns, new behaviors, and eventually a new self. ⠀⠀⠀

Maternity Series - Artist Statement
Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
