Art is freedom to me. I feel like I can make it as I please, be as meticulous, neglectful, expressionistic, and silent as I would prefer. So, my art expresses the passion I put into it. My art represents me, my emotions, and what I like. It’s as serious or unserious as I’d like to make it. I love that part too. If I wanted to make something that’s idea is utterly ignorant, I would make it into something ironically beautiful also. If I had to tie that to the idea of the feminine gaze, it would be that my art is inherently feminine as it is beautiful, and I have very few pieces of male subjects.
