ARTISTS STATEMENT
I'm a tomboy, an artist and designer, and a highly visual person. I've always championed nude photography and been vocal supporter of a person's right to choose how they present themselves and their body, but I never really had the gumption to publish any nude photos of myself. Studying art at university, in life drawing classes, I always admired the confidence of the women who modeled for us. They had such grace and poise, and could hold poses for hours. In contributing to ISM, I feel like I can channel some of that confidence and grace in my own special way.
