I can feel when the sun sets.
Spring is Springing.
The trees are budding.
The futures unclear, but I can tell you where here is.
I’m getting my sense of whimsy back.
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.
