ARTISTS STATEMENT
I am a creative Greek gal from a small country town on the Mississippi River. These days I am strong, independent, daring, self confident and headstrong. But not too long ago I was very self conscious, timid, doubting, routine and awkward. I was raised very conservative and traditional to Greek standards. For me to even consider doing Ishotmyself would be hard for my family to digest. Three years ago I embarked on one of the greatest adventures of my life. I started traveling and fending for myself. Thailand was my jump off destination and I haven't looked back since. In the last three years of traveling there has been so much I've learned. Not just about other cultures but about myself as well. I have learned to be more patient, more aware, more open minded and more relaxed with everyday worries. I tend to not sweat the small things anymore. Doing this project goes to show how far I've come with how I view things and especially how I few my beauty, sexuality, comfort. Only a few short years ago, I would have shut down the idea without a second thought. Now, I am jumping all over it and really enjoyed doing it. To see myself in a different light and perspective is refreshing. To know I am being viewed with respect and fascination for my natural beauty, makes me feel dignified and gives me more self-confidence.
