Since the moment my hand-eye coordination allowed me to draw, I have been making art. Whether that was doodling in the margins of my school books, going above and beyond for art projects, or creating fantastical worlds with my friends; I knew from an early age I wanted to do something creative with my life. It wasn’t until college where my purpose and journey aligned. I understood that I needed to use art as a vehicle for something bigger than myself. My lived experience has made me understand the things I cherish in this life aren’t tied to a financial motivation - not to say I don’t enjoy the work hard, play hard lifestyle - but rather to see my fellow communities thrive, the people around me flourishing, and my loved ones taken care of.

I dedicate all the good I do to my mother, who is nothing short of a hero.

And to those I have encountered on this journey we call life, I’m grateful we crossed paths.
