ARTIST STATEMENT

This piece with a Monarch butterfly is a reflection of my passion for capturing the beauty and the symbolism of nature through art. Personally, art is more than creating something that is simply visually appealing. It is a way to express emotions, tell stories, and connect with others on a deeper level. I am inspired by the things I see in the natural world, and I hope to bring these elements to life in my work. I create art because it allows me to express myself when I feel that words will not do me justice. This butterfly in particular represents transformation and resilience, two themes that mean a lot to me. As I worked on this piece, I thought about how delicate, yet powerful a butterfly is, and I wanted to capture that duality in my art. When I make something, I am hoping to bring my feelings to life in a way that others can understand. Through this piece, I hope to inspire viewers to pause and reflect on the beauty and resilience in their own lives.

Artist Biography

I am a 16-year-old emerging artist from North Carolina, U.S. I do many types of art such as watercolor, acrylic, colored pencils, and pencil art. My passion for art began at a young age, and has grown over the years. I used it as a means to express myself when I felt that words could not. I thoroughly enjoyed exploring the different types of art, starting with watercolors and finding my way to many more mediums. For 4 consecutive years, I reached the district level in the National PTA Reflections competition. This motivated me to keep refining my skills and expanding my boundaries. With a growing portfolio and a commitment to keep improving, I am excited to explore new techniques and challenge myself further in this journey. I look forward to pursuing art in greater depth, and sharing my work with others.
