I started taking self portraits in 2008 in Graduate School. At that time I had just turned 30 and was definitely reflecting upon my life in all ways. I began an exploration of my Identity utilizing self portraiture as a way to communicate my thoughts and feelings.
Quickly my self portraits evolved into larger expressions of Identity that went beyond myself. I explore notions of ethnicity, gender, culture, and social constructions of race connected to my personal experiences.
My Self Portraits ask questions; they don’t give answers. As a Feminist artist, I continue to explore my Identity with my all my art, and I’m still asking questions.
