My art was inspired by the child-like side of my soul. As an adult, the reality of living in the real world can sometimes be boring and very hard, so that’s why the first piece is done in charcoal. The immature whimsical part of me is represented by a colorful fantasy scene, bringing joy and inspiration to my work as a artist and animator. I used color on the realism side to show that I am still listening to my child like side of me. A side that I still use to bring hope to inspire future generations. The picture of the brain with a rainbow infinity symbol represents the neurodiverse part of my life, and my autistic gift of thinking in images. Having the picture of the brain there represents inclusion and acceptance in a neurotypical society.
