“…the things that make a teacher special and significant are their commitment to

teaching and uniqueness of the knowledge I gain from them.”

“I aspire to be the teacher who inspires young artists while pursuing my own artistic

endeavors.”

….I was absolutely captured by the

photographs of Dorothea Lange.

From these images I decided to

depict the emotion “Distraught.”

How do we know what we are and what we are feeling and if

the feelings are totally new and undiscovered? This is what

my work explores.
