Artist statement

Hi, my name is MOODY. I am a biracial Latina artist. I battle with mental health, ADHD and mood swings a lot. So my art is for everyone of all ages to feel whatever they want to feel about it. I want you to look at my art and just see your mood in it and you choose how you want to make it into something positive! I want people to focus on the colors, mood, and imagery. Specifically, try to view my art through the eyes of an enthusiastic collector. What is it that compels you to want to own my art? Is it just because it’s pretty? or is it because it reminds you of a beautiful childhood memory or evokes an emotion? Appeals to emotion and nostalgia? Is the type of questions I want you to ask yourself. What makes you enjoy art like mine?
