Statement
Making art is a way of life for just about everyone who does it. Over the years I’ve come to slowly discover the ways of working that best suit my personality and character, in order to reach the goal of having everything about what I do–subject, medium, size, sources–represent who I am as accurately as possible. It may seem contradictory for someone who takes images, and often text, from other sources to feel her work is completely personal, but in fact, I do.
