I focus on "Lived Experience" artwork. My creations are based in the raw, emotional aspects of my life, and I utilize them as a method of communicating my story when words simply won't do.

When there are no words to express yourself...
When your mind is thick with thoughts that you can't untangle...
When all you need is for someone to understand you and nothing comes out right...
When your limits are breached and the floods of emotion overwhelm you...
When there seems to be nothing else to do...
It's time to get creative.
