Strength in Heritage
Pencil, colored pencil, pen
I was inspired to do this piece due to my rich, beautiful and unique heritage. Another contributing factor which I drew from was the courage and strength of my loved ones, as well as my life experiences, bad and good.

Identity Statement
Identity is not about how others perceive you but rather about how you envision yourself. That vision of yourself is impacted by influences of your heritage, life experiences - bad and good, your social environment, as well as your beliefs. All these factors shape your identity and the evolution there over time.
What role does art play in your life?
Art plays a therapeutic role in my life. It aids me with my emotional well being by being a medium to express and process thoughts, feelings and ideas. As well as giving me great joy. Am inspired to create art by what is around me, experiences I have had in my life, and the idea that my art might bring joy to somebody else's life.
