Artist Statement: For my art, I focused mainly on aspects of the female face. I drew these because as a pre-teen I am broadening my understanding of the beauty standards for women in the modern world. I think that my art helps me grapple with the idea that people are judged and assumed based on their features. I hope that through my art, these topics can come to light and we can progress as a society and form our values and beliefs upon not what people look like on the outside, but what we are as humans on the inside.
