Artist's Statement

Artist's Statement

My Art is about exploring, experimenting, and failing valiantly. It may take a million mistakes to reach my greatest successes and I am willing to make every step regardless of the obstacles I’ve met and continue to face.

Art is my way of examining the space between a dream and reality. I create to honor the beauty and the pain of existence. I amplify the voices of those so often silenced, and I celebrate the power of self-love as an act of liberation. To me creating is an act of resistance and to be an artist is to put yourself on the line for the advancement of society, as the lives of artists are always threatened. We represent change in its purest form, the magic of creating something from nothing at all and that is a threat to any system that wishes us to remain powerless. I create because I can.
