Art affects everyone differently but serves as a universal language. My work reflects a life of need, growth, and change. Through my work, I attempt to communicate experiences of my past and present environment. As I've developed as an artist, I have grown to accept my past and to rely on memories to help me in the present. I cannot deny. ignore. or forget who I am or where I've come from. My work is a mirror of my past that I constantly reconstruct for visions of the future.
