We all have defining moments in our lives. Exploring the world around us and experiencing all that life has to offer requires bravery and confidence.

This genesis art piece reflects my adventure as an artist into a strange new world. The collage shows paper yellowing of time passing. The tape shows that changes have been made. The coffee stain remembers the contemplation of days ahead. A brave woman faces the future in a world where the language is foreign, and others approach. A red jacket may be the only thing to be certain of, yet the possibilities seem endless.

Do not be afraid of new challenges. Walk forward with your head up, eyes open, and explore the world.
