Why the Wizard of Oz reference?
The movie is the story of a fantastical journey which unravels ideas of home, identity, meaning, value, and friendship. The characters unveil the unknown, face fears, and overcome obstacles. The name of my website is a reference both to my personal history and a metaphorical play on my current road of inquiry. Born in India, I grew up in Kansas amid the mid western landscape of infinite blue skies. Leaving Kansas as a teen, I have studied, traveled and lived around the world, thus the line from the Wizard of Oz. Currently, I am a graduate student in the Masters of Visual Arts Education program at the University of Cincinnati, DAAP, on the yellow brick road of learning and discovery.
