Hailing from New York, ‘Changes’ moved out to LA a year ago to pursue her artistic career. Her work takes a look into the brutal honesty of nature and “broken” women. Her vulnerability and haunting pieces give a glimpse into the artist’s imperfect self. We caught up with Changes as she prepares for her solo event tonight. The event will be held at Stay Gallery and will feature all new works themed around the title “Gold, Guns, and Girls,” followed by a special performance by Changes.
