My life is being used to explore the artistic expression of my soul. The artwork I create is largely automatic. My work relates to the struggles of black and brown people, women, LGBTQ people, anyone disenfranchised, disabled, objectified, outcast, and everyone society discriminates against. Aesthetic beauty with philosophical weight and immovable hope have always been my goals.
