Teen Lab at the Art Institute of Chicago

What's your artist statement? 

Experimental, mixed media, visual arts.

What does "art" mean to you? 

Art is natural therapy for the soul. It must be taken seriously. It must be taken very seriously. Art is the best way to heal the soul.

Has Teen Lab helped you grow as an artist?

Definitely, I've developed my way of approaching art. I am now more inviting to different mediums and techniques that otherwise I would have not been interested or open to explore.
