Artist Statement
"When I was growing up, I always knew I was an artist and my purpose as an artist was to create art. Then one day I realized that the real purpose of art was to create artists."
"En grandissant, j'ai toujours su que j'étais un artiste et que mon objectif en tant qu'artiste était de créer de l'art. Puis un jour, j'ai réalisé que le véritable objectif de l'art était de créer des artistes."
