An artist is a purveyor of truth who uses art to tell personal stories influenced by the time in which they live. This exhibition celebrates quintessentially “we” experiences and cultural connections in everyone’s lives. The work explores a wide range of expressions in contemporary culture, including themes like aging, pregnancy, motherhood, regional and international connections, religious identity, ancestral heritage, clothing, hair, body identity, hyphenated cultural experiences, rituals, and familial celebrations.
