There are so many different ideas of what love is based on gender, age, race, etc. This makes you wonder what truly defines love if everyone’s life experiences are so different. In bell hooks’ All About Love, she explains her theory of love, providing us with a definition and seven traits that create a loving relationship. In this series, Love is as Love Does explores those seven traits through an abstract style inspired by artists such as Mark Rothko, Wassily Kandinsky, and Pablo Picasso. Inspiration was also pulled from psychology ink blot tests and the popular international movie “In the Mood for Love.”
"I was taught the power of laughter and humor by my father and I seek to channel that power into my creative work. Knowing that art has the power to change how people think, I have chosen to communicate positive and hopeful messages to my audience through my work."
