Art for me is the escape from reality. The world is full of grieve that art is what takes me away from it all. I could be fighting the fight but I choose to flight instead. I find myself influenced by stories and elements of the past. That is what lead me to props and set decorating.

Sept 26th Studio Questions
- Do you think the value of images has been cheapened with social media?
Social media, influencers, art galleries, knock offs and cheap box stores art.
- What keeps a person thinking about the art they see/experience after they've left it?
The emotional, physical and psychological connection stamps the image to our minds, whatever that can be. It may be confusing, shocking, warming or sexual.

Digging further into WAR!!
After I watched Women Art Revolution!! on YouTube, this above video showed up. As absurd as the art form and controversial the subject is in revolutionary female artwork, I understand the need. I feel the anger when I see above how females are viewed and reduced. As long as this "beauty pageant" exists, and contestants enable the audience to view them as objects, the WAR goes on.
