“My love and passion for child-like imagery has long been fostered. Throughout my entire life, I have explored it in many different forms and have grown to appreciate the vast impact that it can have on those who interact with it. As a child, I felt I had to grow up quickly so I pushed away a lot of childhood experiences. As an adult, that point of view began to change and I have used past joys as an escape and as a way to validate my emotions.”
