How does her artist process relate to mine:
I believe that her artist process relates a lot to her herself or her culture and she relooks at the things that have happened to her family. I really like the way she is able to incorporate parts of her identity of within her artwork which is something that I believe I try to do. I think I use some of the similar themes as her as in the sense that relate most of my artwork back to myself, my identity and artwork.
