From the Artist
Since childhood, I have witnessed the world through a lens of emotion which at times could be a blessing or a burden. This survival tool helped me navigate an often unpredictable home life. Over the course of my life I have made sense of these emotions using meditative processes to discharge residual feelings through my hands and into my art.
