Artist Statement: My artwork originated from a class project my students and I were working on during remote learning. The mask is meant to inspire creativity and drive away self-doubt. It symbolizes breaking out of the shell we’ve outgrown, releasing self-doubt, and manifesting inner strength. The various combinations of primary colors ignite a positive energy fueling my inner desire to create. The wheels suggest motion, propelling action and creating momentum – ignore the inner critic and keep on going.
