Art has always been a form of positive coping and processing of trauma and challenges. I enjoy the growth and conversations my art evokes.

Mixed media is my favorite but Ceramics is a very close second. I enjoy the process and mystery of what comes out of the kiln. Like unwrapping a gift you may have an idea but it’s also a surprise with each firing.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the community that I love and work in. The amazing people and personalities I am surrounded by. Their rich culture and experiences tantalize the creative palette.
What would you do with $25,000?I work with young people in my community and hold weekly art workshops. We are also building a recording studio for the young people we serve. I would invest in them and buy supplies and better equipment to further enrich the possibilities to inspire young artists and support their dreams of achieving more in their lives. I would also pay some bills so I could worry less and create more but mostly invest in my community.
