I create art to sublimate the ordinary into the divine. As an artist, I draw from humor, strength, improvisation and the everyday underdog.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Communication and Documentation: Comedic, Raw, Outsider, Obsessive, Natural, Socialist Activist Clown Art Therapy for Moms and everyone else who ever had a Mom (however great or small).

Where do you find inspiration?

Authenticity. Humor. Reality. Poverty. Animals. Children. Music. Currently vibing on Ryan Adams and Always vibing on the Grateful Dead and anything/everything Trailer Park Hillbilly Punk Rock. My Chillens (Casper & Bill 🌈🤘🏻) and SURVIVING solo.

What would you do with $25,000?

We lost our home last year after a brutal divorce and job loss following spinal surgery. I would use this money to pay for 1 year of rent on my Trailer Space here in NM and the rest taking my kids back to LA where we started to go see their favorite music artists perform. To garner inspiration for them to prep for whatever it is they choose to do after launching into this Capitalist Crap Show. Anything left will go toward social justice for mental health and Substance Use Disorders via NAMI.
