I Doubt It
grappling with imposter syndrome

I Doubt It was a month-long exhibition created and presented at Black Heart Tattoo & Gallery
in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. 
Featuring original works custom framed by me "I Doubt It" was designed to spark discussions about 'imposter syndrome' and the systems by which we assign worth to artwork that create a culture of comparison that negatively affects artists.

The center piece of the show was a comic titled "I Doubt It".
Each pen and ink panel was created at a large scale and framed as an individual artwork to highlight the skill and effort that goes into every piece of a cartoonist's work. It details my feelings of inadequacy when "imposter syndrome" rears its head, and the hope that I hold on to that brings me back to my creative self.

Also on display was "Yes That's Art Too".
Housed in an ornate frame and priced highest of all pieces on display, this piece follows my artist statement "everything is worth something". If I had a dollar for every time someone said, dejectedly or jokingly, that "all they can draw is a stick figure" I could afford to be a full time artist. ALL art is worthwhile to create, and dollar value denotes selling points like fame and presentation rather than the beauty of the work itself.
