Hi! It's super cool that you chose Sand One as your artist for the Wikipedia presentation. I've actually met her twice in high school because she gave presentations during career week. She discussed her childhood, struggles and artistic journey, which was very inspirational. She's super talented and I love her work, so I'm looking forward to your presentation!
