What inspired me to make this work of art was my need to express myself as a people pleaser growing up and how I felt along with my love of the show Face Off to illustrate it. This character is something that I created within my head and would love to see on a big screen if I was ever given the opportunity to do that as well. I love colors and I love horror and I believe this displays in the way I would like. The process was to show my love of bright colors through my bubbly personality that people with my fears and love of horror movies combined. I learned that even things that are colorful can be creepily beautiful. I love making my own characters that somehow reflect my life or others around me.
