Artist‘s Statement
Hi! I am Chloe, a rising junior from New York. I have always been interested in creative writing, especially writing personal memoirs, however, I have begun to branch out and started writing poetry. I enjoy writing a lot about my personal experiences, specifically the challenges I have faced regarding my identity. In addition, I appreciate advocating for various social issues and writing about underrepresented women of color in history, as I have always had a strong interest in gender studies.
