Biography

I have been doing art all my life to provide me a way to make sense of the world.  My generational trauma has made me the person I am today.  I thank all the people that hurt me and bless them on their healing journey.  The truth will set you free.  My truth is I want to give back to my community that helped me find my way back home to myself.  I finally can say I love myself and I would like to help others find their way back home to themselves, through art.  I like the quote from Dr Suess “Those that matter don’t mind and Those that mind don’t matter” .  In art I can  can start with a blank canvas and create whatever story or image I  want to create.  There are no limitations to my creativity. There are no rules. No one can tell you if my art is right or wrong. I want to help people find their child like wonder again.
