Statement
Through her work Haley uses her own personal iconography to make social, political and feminist commentary that explores issues within contemporary culture.
On a personal note, she believes in creating artwork that is accessible to the average viewer and prompts critical thought on the subject at hand. Without being overly simplistic, she aims to find a balance of complexity in her work that can be universally understood and explored by people from all levels of society.
Furthermore, she firmly believes that sometimes art should be humorous.
