What is a large inspiration to your self portrait artwork within the exhibition?
Motherhood brings with it immense joy, wonder and love, along with an equal share of vulnerability, pain and fragility. This self-portrait uses botanical analogies to explore ideas of isolation, pain, fear and the resilience in modern motherhood, as seen through a personal lens. My inspiration for this work comes from the conversations with the mothers in my life. Modern American motherhood is an isolating experience and I hope to create a dialog about community and inter-dependence through my work.
