TAKING UP SPACE SERIES

Fitting In, Awareness, Acceptance…

Taking up Space means recognizing your right to exist, have opinions without apologizing, pursue your goals, and more. This may seem obvious on the surface, but we are inundated with the right way to behave from day one. This series is my visual diary of abstract and figurative paintings to chronicle the emotional, complex, and liberating journey from spending years bowing to cultural demands and trying to fit in; to gaining awareness; to an ongoing journey of owning all I am.
