UNRAVEL
36"x40"
Unraveling, hitting low points in my life, has allowed me to process, grieve, appreciate and grow. To be able to look at my trials and unexpected situations and appreciate the growth that has been the byproduct. Through the unraveling of leaving a community that I grew up believing was the most important and intimate relationships I would have, I grew in my confidence as a human. I started understanding how to love in new ways, to figure out who I truly was without parameters of who I was supposed to be.
As an artist, I have the honor to tell my story. I spill my emotions, thoughts, hurt, and joy on a canvas. I create meaning out of the unraveling and create beauty out of the process. Every piece has a story, a situation, a hope. My ultimate hope for my art is that it will evoke intentional conversations that push the boundaries of intimacy. We all have the hope for connection and have insecurities of our own unraveling. We have much more in common than we realize, so let’s take time to take up space, let others take up space, listen, and love beyond what others seem to deserve. Let’s see the positive that comes out of even the shittiest situations.
