    Being an Artist Is Not a PunishmentLet’s start here: being an artist is not a punishment. It’s not a vow of poverty. It’s not a sentence to struggle. These ideas are passed down from many sources—family members, mentors, institutions, and pop culture. But they’re beliefs, not facts. And they can be rewritten.

I've been building on this ever since. ‍‍What connects your work together, and what keeps you creating?

    ‍"I have been making art to stay alive for as long as I can remember. I didn’t realize the power in making art until my 30s, where I found I could use my artistic voice to help others feel warmth or to lift them up. I spent a lot of my younger years being so angry at the world because of traumas in childhood. Realizing I could channel my emotions in a healthy way through making art has been a huge shift for my mental health, and each painting I create is always dedicated to the dreamers.

Today I commit to using all my gifts. Today I choose to serve and support others with whatever resources I have. Today I choose to move forward with faith and let go of fear.
