would be an understatement. Both of my parents are artists, my father a musician, and my mother a painter. While I focus much of my work on visual art, particularly drawings, I took ballet lessons for 12 years, and classical piano lessons almost as long.<\/p>\n

Growing up so involved in so many different artistic communities left a mark on me, and inspires me to explore their interconnectedness. I\u2019m fascinated by the ability we, as people have to create and perceive rhythm and motion in still, 2D images.<\/p>\n

My work is also largely influenced by my Bosnian heritage. Both of my parents immigrated to the US during the Yugoslavian Civil War. I feel that I\u2019ve grown up straddling a line of 2 different cultures, never fully a part of either. I think this feeling affects some aspect of everything I do or make.<\/p>\n

I hope to someday be able to make a statement with my art. Ideally, my art will leave an impact, whether from the aesthetic or the messages I try to imbue. I want to explore themes of life and death, of politics, and of the causes I believe in.<\/p>\n
