I strive to motivate other artists to embrace their voices and be proud of who they are. I am determined to use my work to help challenge and celebrate the richness, complexity, and power of life— to excite other artists to embrace their voices and their experiences, and to find beauty in the imperfect moments that make us uniquely human.  

I believe the process of creating art brings mental peace and offers us a place to meditate on life’s immense beauty and difficult complexity. I hope to convey the beauty of that layered complexity in my work and empower artists of all backgrounds and abilities to embrace the creative process over the result.
