Description
"Everything you can imagine is real." Pablo Picasso
I see imaginations spring to life every day. Why is it so easy to lose our sense of wonder as we grow older? Children imagine things and through their stories, toys, and art, they give their imaginations life, make them real. With ten nieces and nephews, I have been able to experience this sense of creation, keeping me so very close to my own imagination. Growing up should not take away that sense of wonder or imagination.Through a body of artwork, I will strive to give my own imaginations life, make them real, and move viewers to do the same.I hope to encourage myself and the people around me to look at the world a little differently.
