BC: I’ve been doing art since a little girl

What makes you want to be an artist?

BC: Having the ability to express myself in a way that makes me happy as well as other who receive or purchase my artwork.

For you how does art relate to wellness?

BC: Art is something that keeps you up, so you must be in the right state of mind and health because how you feel will reflect in your work.

What do you feel is the most challenging aspect of your career?

What has been your biggest challenge as an artist? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? If so, how?

BC: The biggest challenge I would say is being told an art degree would not get me far. I did overcome it by putting that idea to the side and letting my artwork prove that it will.
