she asked, I responded
When I write my name on my paintings or drawings, it’s just my first name in roughly written capital letters with a period at the end. Its part of my egocentricity and modesty combined. I am a walking statement, my own statement, and I am my own end. However, I am also a human, a woman, and an artist that has followed behind in the tradition of thousands before me. My last name is irrelevant and I make no claim to the knowledge that has been passed down to me. I claim only myself and the ideas that I manifest tangibly because that is all I have a right to claim as mine.
