Artist Statement:
In the ebb and flow of our
existence, we are confronted
by great hindrances, as well
as overwhelming moments of
joy, which shape and define
our character. It is my
assertion that within each
individual there lives and
breathes a personal narrative
that holds merit and deserves
to be fully recognized. As a
visual storyteller and
conceptual artist, my life’s
passion revolves around
uncovering not only my own
inherent story but the
elaborate tales of those
around me.
Classically trained in
drawing, painting and
sculpture, I have always
sought to deviate and meander
away from traditional means of
representing the world around
me. There are times I am
visited by a superhighway of
ideas that often race by too
quickly to be seized, or I am
confronted head-on by social
injustices that bring upon an
immediate need to respond
creatively. These forces, this
creative push, fuel the
production of photographs,
short film narratives and
mixed media installations
ranging in tone and varying in
layered meaning. I stay open
to influences and find my work
reflects a multitude of
subject matter, primarily
gender, identity, social
discourse, human rights, and
the ever-present need for
tolerance and social change.
