Ok, here's my artist statement so far, please leave feedback:

The artwork that I create is inspired by the need for basic human rights. I believe that all humans deserve to have certain rights fulfilled. Those rights should include: freedom – freedom in thought and in physicality, safety – from violence, and access to affordable healthcare. These ideas have inspired the artwork that I have done in the past years. I want to continue to create artwork that displays these ideas of human rights in the future.
I choose to do my work in the digital medium. I enjoy the flexibility and control that the computer and scanner give me over my artwork. The colors that I use tend to be bright and contrasting, because I want my viewer to be drawn in by them. The colors pull my viewers in and the subject keeps them thinking. My artwork makes my viewer rethink what human rights are and how they are addressed in our world.
This semester I am working on a piece that focuses on breast cancer. Breast cancer is a subject that is important to me because it has been in my family for generations. My great-grandmother, grandmother, aunt, and mother have all been cursed with breast cancer. The cancer killed my great-grandmother and my aunt and has my mother battling. My artwork is pair of Flash videos that feature my family and the rewards and struggles that have come along with breast cancer. These videos will show how breast cancer has taken away the rights of my family to be normal, to not worry, for my cousins to have a mother, and for my mother to love her body.
