For the past five years I’ve been creating art for others. It was not until this year
(2020) that I remembered that creating art for myself can be freeing and explorative.
Now that I have entered a new phase of my life, I find myself searching for a path
to better understand who I am and this path is art once again. Garden is series that represents the artist’s investigation of her own identity. What is
the best part of the garden and what needs more attention because of years of neglect?
