Description: Home means many things for different people. The area you live in, the people you surround yourself with, or the memories you hold onto. For me, my childhood bedroom was my definition of home. It was a space where I made the rules, where I could shut out the world and imagine a thousand different stories or creations before lunchtime. The figure in the center of the room is surrounded by her childhood stuffed animals, Barbies, and art supplies with nothing but her imagination.
Artist Statement: How can I explore my view of myself and how my habits affect me? In most of my pieces I create work that represents my identity, how I hold myself back from goals, my habits, what I put my self-worth on, and how my views of myself change over time. Most of my work is created with alcohol markers and colored pencils, with vibrant colors and harsh lighting to draw the viewer’s eye.
