ARTIST STATEMENT
Art and the written word is a direct form of what lies between thought and expression. As a published poet, using text is a way that I transfer the verbal into the visual. Words help me portray the sense of emotion. As a breast cancer survivor, my work revolves around body image, gender and the social and political.
