Artist Statement
I draw, quilt, sketch, paint with oils and acrylics, and costume. My grandmother has told me that I've been drawing since I was two and "never" stayed within the lines of a coloring book. I would always run to the printer and get paper without restricting lines on it.
When I was six years old my mother and grandmother introduced me into the world of sewing. I made quilts by their will but I never could grasp some of the concepts of their art. My aunt then introduced me into costuming, a profession of hers. She introduced me into an art I have loved since then.
I love art because I can express what I see everyday and I can show what world I live in. I have a fascination with history and so I have incorporated the two between drawings of vikings and the medieval costumes I sew.
In future art, I hope I can create things that are different from what other people normally see everyday. I hope I can bring history into art with a modern twist of fantasy and color.
