I would have to say that my voice is very influenced by the way I've grown up. I like to base a lot of my work on the many places I have lived and growing up as an air force brat. So I'd say that part of my voice is about my upbringing.
Another part of my voice that influences my writing more then my art is that I like to try to be really descriptive. I enjoy doing creative writing and I find that I like to tell stories with deep description and tend to use sentences that are probably way too long.
In my design work I'd like to think that my voice is light and fun. Most of my work is graphic and bright and mostly all on the computer. But I do enjoy when I get away from the computer and work with my hands specifically using the letterpress. I could say that the fact that some of my work is letter pressed as apposed to all digital is part of my voice as an artist.
What I notice when doing critiques in my studio classes is that I start to get an idea of what everyones style or voice is in their work, but its very hard to pinpoint what my own style is. I look at each piece as something new and don't usually stop to think if it is similar to the last one. Whereas someone else might be looking at my work thinking that it looks very me.
