Description

I began with small sketches of myself, something I have been comfortable with creating for many years. I am graduating in a few months, and decided to choose another medium recently learned that represents my growth and stepping out of my comfort zone, just as I am about to begin a new chapter: dry point etching in a larger format. Combining these images helps to communicate the complexity of my past, present, and future.
