My work focuses on the character we portray to the world. We express ourselves through the things we wear, how we style our hair, and the accessories we choose to convey that character to others. I choose to celebrate this. The color that this self-expression brings to our everyday lives is essential for communication and understanding within our communities. The animals are paired with the figures to connect them to the beauty and grace that naturally exist in birds and butterflies. Each character’s uniqueness is celebrated, as it is our differences that make each of us special.
