ARTIST STATEMENT
In my art, I like to create different styles while telling a story. My work goes closely with the theme of this exhibition, Inside Outside, Upside Down. I chose Stacey Abrams because of her work ethic in advocating for free and fair voting rights for the people in Georgia and around the country. In this composition, I chose a smiling Abrams to portray her personality, while adding broken glass to give a shining star appearance. The rhinestones help to pull together a professional look, while I added the clear beads for texture. Stacey Abrams is my/our shining star, hence the title: The Fair Fight Queen. |
