In my art I like to express my emotion, my feelings, and my life. The reason I make art isn't just because I like to build things, I make art because sometimes it feels like that's my only way I can say what I'm trying to say without using words. Art is a way to show everyone around me how I'm feeling when I'm too scared to tell the truth.
The way I make my art is I focus on one feeling that I'm having at a time and then I try to focus that feeling into a shape after the shape I focus on why I'm feeling like this and how I'm going to fix it. I like to get inspiration from nature and other work that I have seen. My artwork Is made up of everything that I'm feeling at that moment when I'm sketching, to the moment when it's done. I was imparted a lot by loss. That is why I focused so much on nature. The outdoors are and will forever be my home and the past 3 years, I didn't have time to go see it. My art always has a meaning behind it and sometimes it's even hard for me to find the actual meaning of it because I have so much going on in my life but I always fight through it all.
For most of my art I use clay. Truthfully I never thought I would like clay, but clay was the easiest thing for me to work with because I could reform it in any way that I needed it to be. If you would have asked younger me What I like to do for fun, I would have told you singing and I never would have thought that I would be an artist one day. I never thought art was going to be a platform that helped me. When I got put into an art class my sophomore year I was actually really upset because I never considered myself an artist. Only a week into that class and I would have told you I have found a new passion and I'm obsessed!! Art has helped me through almost every single bad thing in my life. I can express anything that I'm feeling and tell any story I want to tell without having to say a single word. Sometimes words are hard and sometimes the only way you can tell people how you truly feel, is to show them. The one thing I've learned throughout my art experience is you have to push through. If your art project breaks, fix it, make it better and no matter what, DO NOT GIVE UP ON YOURSELF!
