Through my image making process I look for ways to show a female perspective in the making of history and try to imagine what the past would be like if seen through the eyes of women. Making these images is not only a way for me to understand the woman that I am, but the woman that I want to become. I am completely liberated in revealing the pain and confusion of my own female experience. It becomes a ceremonious communion for me with all women who both suffer and strive to overcome adversity. I aim to be brutally honest about both the struggle of womanhood as well as the triumphs, which allows me to achieve a healing and self-defining resolution within myself. My artmaking process thrusts me into a place where I can truly realize and celebrate the growth and progress made by women.
