Notes
Pre-accounting major, BYU. Artist statement: "This piece is a self-portrait done with acrylic paint on canvas. The shifting colors that make up the face represent how each person is constantly changing both in and out, hence the name "phantasmagoria" which defines the experience of changing images as in a dream. These changes can make us feel as though we are not presenting ourselves in the right way at the right time, creating distance between us and our peers. Learning about Christ and how he understands us fully no matter what."
