As an artist, I am inspired by everything I see in my surroundings. I use nature, items in my house, and different colors to create my work. I have been trying to experiment with many different mediums and techniques in recent years. I love doing still-life drawings, acrylic paintings, wooden sculptures, embroidery, and sewing. Experimenting with different materials inspires me to create new things and figure out what new techniques I can learn to create something beautiful. 

     The theme of this series is my narrative of growing up as a mixed-race woman. This series consists of a small fashion line of garments showing significant colors from both nationalities, some symbols and icons I have learned about, and things I remember about growing up as a mixed child. Creating clothing based on my background helps me to connect to my family while also learning more about who I have become. Since I was little, I always dreamt about becoming a Fashion Designer so I could help people have access to affordable and comfortable clothing. Over the years, I taught myself how to sew by hand and machine. I feel that creating everything by hand would give a sense of power and delicacy to my series.
