Artist Statement
I grew up in a time when eating in public was shameful, stomach rolls made you unworthy, and shopping for clothes was traumatic. I grew up before being plus size was normal.
My work reflects the images I wish I had seen—beautiful, luscious women doing ordinary things, just like everybody else. They are a reflection of my own battle with body image and my journey to mental health.
If you’ve ever been made to feel insignificant, I hope they inspire you to own your image of yourself and never give that power to someone else.
