Artist‘s Statement
Heyja, I’m Freda! Writing has always been a way for me to express myself, as I am horrible with words. I went from journaling to writing actual, cohesive pieces as I grow up, albeit at a slow pace. My own life experiences and the stars in the night sky provides inspiration for my works. I have found my voice in poetry, and I’m hoping to expand my horizons and explore other generes, improving my voice as a writer.
