Part of my graduate studies encompassed Art for Social Change and I’ve noticed my own art practice converging with my advocacy. It feels like coming full circle.
When I make art that speaks to my lived experience it is intrinsically tied to my neurodivergence. This wasn’t conscious when I titled the My Brain on Motherhood series, but adds another layer of meaning and focus to the body of work.
Then there is the direct advocacy and educational work I began this summer.
There is so much potential for these practices to overlap and inform one another.
I’m interested in exploring this intersection further as I create more pieces about neurodivergence and autism.
