Instead of being the fastest or the smartest I found my strength, sanctuary and cushion from the world in making art.
My grandma gave me my first art lessons when I was very young. She sewed my clothes growing up and this influenced me to later teach myself how to use the sewing machine - allowing imperfections, emotions, and child like energies to fuel and inspire me to create.
I want to push myself to make art with the things around me, to be resourceful and to follow my heart’s inspiration.
Making something wearable, drawing with sharpies or the sewing machine, sculpting, to creating installations that incorporate all of these elements has become my spirituality - my survival.
