Artist Statement
Over the last four years I've used art as an outlet for my emotions. I draw what comes to mind and seeing it in front of me helps me understand myself better. I've never been very close with my emotions, but drawing them has definitely helped. As my final project this year, I chose to do a short series of tarot cards that best show what this year has been like for me. While I don't believe in tarot card readings, I think it's interesting that they all have double meanings, and I admire all of the different designs.
