About
Art is not just a creative outlet, but a profound means of communication, self expression, and activism. My mission is to create art that fosters a transformative space where ALL can envision lives beyond the confines of existing structures, while also creating art that explores the depths of peace. I draw inspiration from human connection, consciousness, and the vast universe, with a style that incorporates elements of Pop Art. Placing us in positions that reveal the inherent beauty and extraordinary power within us all.
Accepting my award at the Capitol.
