Artist Statement:
I like to think each painting carries the energetic vibration of this joy and I hope that my paintings may remind you (the viewer) of your own child-like wonder, courage, inner divinity, and your right to dignity. So often social justice centers around winning rights and stopping discrimination, but I think we also need to remember the freedom we already have inside of us.”
