Bio/ Resume

Kimisha Turner 

ARTISTIC INTENTION:  To create interdisciplinary work that adds value to the culture, playing with abstraction, surrealism, and symbolism. Interpret and express life visually in a way that is both relatable, empowering, and provocative. Challenge and spark new ideas by utilizing varied mediums and techniques, encouraging others to take a deeper look at the inspiration or concept. Work that is beautiful with deeper and possibly uncomfortable layers or discoveries that hope to open new perspectives.
