As a graduate student with Georgia Southern, my goal as an artist is to express themes of community, intimacy, and hyper femininity while experimenting with a variety of materials and presentation styles. My interest lies in creating and collecting bodies of work that represent these themes, as I research the art of Burlesque and its influence as performance art.
