"Art is dear to me. Art is how I originally combated intrusive thoughts and ideations. I found what made me extra-ordinary and channeled my energy into it. Although I’ve been drawing since elementary, I became passionate about art once I found true inspiration and empowerment within myself and in the phenomenal women who fought for me to be here (hence my first released series). In my work, I express my passions, feelings, and truths. I like to believe that when I’m gone, my spirit will be here physically in my creations. I enjoy creating custom art for others; however, my original work is something that I do for me, and it's always gratifying when someone else values it just as much. I am multi-facet and instead of changing this by sticking to one aesthetic, I chose to exhibit this fact across my work. Overall, I aspire to be my true self with hopes of being a positive influence and inspiration to others. ” -Kat
