My belief is that change must first start with awareness. With my art, I want to change the way people perceive the world. There are things I believe people must know.
Homelessness exists in an instant. Grief can consume the soul. Loneliness gnaws at the heart far more than some know. People are capable of the ugly.
And at the same time I want them to know, there is something beautiful about a smile, a laugh, a funny habit, and the way a mother watches her young daughter discover rocks, and birds, and flowers, and insects, and grass blades, all for the first time.
With my art I want to invoke something deep within people. I want people to see the world. I want them to see the beautiful as well as the ugly, and ultimately I want them to contemplate their role in the rhythm.
