Artist Statement

My artwork is about LGBTQ+. This is an important issue because I want people to feel safe to be who they are and should not be ashamed for loving someone. To create this art piece first I sketched the layout of the hearts and words, then I painted it with water color. I really like how my art piece has so much color. Something I would do differently next time is do the words with sharpie because the paint smudged and made the red look bad.
