Thank you for having me. I loved my time studying on my Masters it helped me pull apart my practice and my ideas. I started to really question why I was making work, and why I wanted people to see it. It was a hard process to go through having just finished my degree and finding a practice I felt comfortable with. My training really opened my eyes open to all different types of art work, being in a cohort of painters, sculptures, illustrators, conceptual, photographic, and video artists. This was a fantastic experience to be in a group with so many different mediums and disciplines. Through the course I wanted to go on a personal journey and to bring the viewer along with me.
