To quote her: 

"I am a plus size woman with an eating disorder. My work is personal, intense, emotional, violent and familiar.

A dedicated conceptualist and surrealist autobiographer, I address the de(con)struction of self in relation to society’s perception/projection/reflection of beauty. My multidisciplinary work focuses on the complexities of gender identity, body image, and the societal privileging of women's physical beauty over character and intellect."

Our conversation will be all about art and how that has played an integral part in her personal and business life.
