Artist Statement
My work is consistent with my imaginations or my own personal life experiences. The method I use to create my work are different kinds of media, from 3D animation, 2D animation, or drawing and paintings. Starting a piece I tend to revisit my thoughts or life situations that have happened prior and write a narrative down and start making drawings of what I want to bring to life. Making my characters sad and depressing is how I can describe my art form. My characters are usually black female characters who are broken from heartbreaking life events, being haunted by their own thoughts, or turning to substances that mend and temporarily heal their moods. I make it in a way where people can also relate or sympathize with the characters. But it is a therapeutic way of expressing myself.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sounds like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest.
