Work Description: 
Artist statement: My work brings in fragments of imagery from my own lived experience, the experiences of my family, dreams, and folklore to construct representational narratives. I am interested in constructing environments that contain a complex amalgamation of emotions brought on by the actions of the figures that inhabit it. // My thesis seeks to communicate stories that I am familiar with while using the language of storytelling. The narratives that occupy each of the works range from being invented to reinvented, while also being implied. The main environment I have chosen to serve as a source of imagery to build my scenes upon is that of the annual carnival-like celebration, The Nederland Heritage Festival, located in my hometown of Nederland, Texas. It is upon these fairgrounds that I explore what makes up the heritage of where I come from, while also considering the characteristics that people attribute to categories like industry, gender, ethnicity, religion, and mental illness. In conjunction with utilizing the concept of folk and fairy tales to anchor my own personal mythos, the body of work was given a solid foundation so that I was efficiently able to communicate the constructed culture within South East Texas and within myself.
