Artist‘s Statement
Throughout my writing process, one of my main goals is to express myself through imagery and the world around me. This can take shape through depictions of nature, architecture, even people. In my work this year what I wanted most was to share my journey of growth. Every line conveys one of my emotions or memories through a story or Idea because by depicting things in a broader sense it can form a connection with the feelings of the reader as well.
