“Your portfolio is an intriguing interpretation of the self-portrait in the photography genre. I really like your choice of using the black and white medium and your use of tight composition. I also like how you do not allow the viewer to see your face-that it is hidden. It adds a sense of mystery to you. Your work is very strong and I look forward to seeing it progress even further!”(Marietta Davis, Guest Curator. Artists Wanted)
