Artist Statement
Growing up in rural Louisiana, the only time I felt I had peace was being in the woods. Watching the trees swaying in the wind and existing in the world brought me joy. Trees are strong and have the power to survive in any environmental conditions. They have the strength I craved as a child. Trees have been the main subject of
my prints. As I have grown, I have seen the destruction of the forest I was raised in. The imagery of that is heartbreaking.
The way the companies remove the trees for profit, and do not replant or clean the area after destroying it. In a world where humans consume more than the Earth has to offer, it feels as if the world is spiraling into destruction. As we need trees for human existence, we overuse them to a point we will destroy ourselves. I am using the imagery of destroyed plant life, which shows one growth from living in survival mode since birth.
