Art is the vehicle she uses to engage, serve, uplift and transform the community.
“I AM inspired by the beauty of bold creativity in urban culture, innovation, storytelling, emotional rawness and music. It is the exploration of expression and intense attraction for authenticity that leads me on a journey of reflective brushwork and bold visuals. Decoding life experiences while creating art that speaks to and from the soul. My higher calling is to use art as a vehicle to engage, serve, uplift and transform the community. Raising the level of consciousness. DEEP CONNECTION and DESIRE to think without limitations, provoke a feeling, an emotion, a story, a vision for unveiled new perspectives to INSPIRE GREATNESS.”
In addition to her studio work, she thrives on self-mastery, creativity, self-reflection to help bring awareness to important topics like mental health and trauma-informed approach. She believes in higher power and aligns with her inner soul to create artwork that is on purpose. As an artist, her underlying foundation is to use her work to collaborate with organizations, to expose the voices of those who have been silenced by inner doubt, and welcome others to fully embrace their UNDEFINED soul.
