ARTISTS STATEMENT
I've always grown up around nudity. My family and the community I grew up in was always nude. I had a wonderful friend as a young girl who was a practicing fairy, forever child like. She would always say at the most appropriate times "NUDE AIN'T RUDE". It was only when I reached high school that social and commercial media started infiltrating my young mind, creating fear of my body. Those feelings are horrible so I would like to communicate, love your bodies and don't believe the hype, you are beautiful! I'm a practicing artist and these are the sorts of issues I portray in my work. Art is an everyday practice in the way I live, so I do my very best to exude these positive thoughts about the body in my day to day life.
