“I am a mixed media artist and my practice includes, but is not limited to, painting and drawing. My inspirations come from real life experiences, such as global issues which have a great impact on many people or the things that I deal with day to day. The artwork created in this class reflects my time in quarantine and the emotions that I have experienced. I create art as a way to express myself. Many of my peers write to express themselves, but for me that has been a challenge due to a learning disability in reading and writing. Some subjects in school were difficult for me but the one subject that I really connected with was art. Art gives me a way to show who I am and express my emotions. Every time I create a new piece, it always reminds me of what art means to me.”

To my left the living room and the line phone ringing with a number I have never seen before. with the window wide open and the sounds of the construction out side across the alleyway the say, the screws, the hammer that goes BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG getting louder every time geting louder and louder. A green poted plant dirt everywhere the smell of cold coffee from my dads mug left out from this mornig. The washer from down stairs spining aroung and around and aroung untill the end.”
