Summary/Artist's Statement
Artist's Statement:
I am always inspired by women, women are works of art and I intend to highlight the exceptional beauty of women. My work is sustainable being completely upcycled and repurposed. This collection calls attention to the unrealistic expectations put on women by society through time and the pressure to achieve perfection.
