        Who is someone that inspires you? Why?
                                “I feel so inspired when I talk to people who are really
                                interested in things. It doesn’t have to be art, but when
                                something sparks curiosity and inquisitiveness in a
                                person, I love seeing that.”

         change within her workplace and in the world. By using her

                                  I and II. Her powerful drawings, prints and sculpture were
