Artist Statement: Many of us, especially teenagers, have too many things going on in our minds.  It causes us to shut down.  It’s worse when you don’t know why. Peace of mind is all we need.

Artist Statement: “En el centro del bosque en donde las ramas son venas de tiempo ya olvidalo
Un Mundo en donde no hay manos que guien el pincel de madera
Solo un viento que danza en espiral de obsidiana
Que devora la luz de la noche temprana”

Artist Statement: I really loved this project, as I enjoyed learning how to work with charcoal. My favorite part was adding the details such as the areas of my face that were highlighted. I also thought it was fun to keep noticing new things about my face throughout the process.
