I can see the sun again
I think I’m finally full!
A big wide sky and I’m doing more than fine.
Blue in the best way.
I will be good.
I have more than enough.
A solid foundation.
Grief is a friend of mine.
A little better everyday.
Things are coming together again.
Running Woof.
A long shadow is cast behind me
Face down in the dirt.
Born and raised in Rural Vermont, I experienced homelessness for the first time at age 14. I evaded displacement with the help of my community through my admittance to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where I acquired the skills necessary to create the emotionally provocative work you see today. Although my work is personally motivated it relates to the world at large, as I know my feelings nor experiences are unique to me but rather are a reflection of the time and place I arrived. By speaking on my own experience I hope viewers can broaden their understanding of topics that may be hard to reach, difficult to discuss, or overwhelming so that we may reach a better understanding of each other and the validity in our unique experiences and our inherent differences.
