ARTIST
STATEMENT 

I use art to show my voice. Art has helped me build self-esteem, and I am enthralled by the opportunity to teach others how to do the same. 

Artist Statement
A dynamic shot captures the artist's right hand in motion, wielding a large, chunky house paintbrush. Streaks of thin aqua blue paint are flung across the canvas and into the air, adding to the work in progress. Swatches of blue and black paint, along with straight black sketched lines, already adorn the mixed media canvas, showcasing the evolving artwork's layers and textures.
