Artist Statement

I spent the last few years traveling locally and nationally to speak to students about several concerns including social isolation and how it ties to different forms of violence. I would like to continue this study through the arts. In addition, I’m interested in how social isolation affects my work if at all as I have always been an extreme introvert and always create in isolation. I am a multidisciplinary artist and would like to explore issues in my art ,writing, and performance art.
