New Work Coming Soon
They say the best work comes from the most painful experiences… This year has brought forth emotions that I’ve never imagined. I’ve been compiling my words into notebooks and note apps on my phone. Waiting to put all the pieces together into one body of work to express the things I’ve been through this year;…
The Conversations No One Likes to Have

Be Kind. Don’t Share that Post.
Please. For the sake of those you love and care about who get triggered by violence, do not share videos of brutal violence and death.

Let’s Just Be Happy.
There have been many instances during this pandemic that I have seen people pushing to start businesses, take up new hobbies, work out, eat better, get fresh air, etc. If you want me to be honest, #issalot. I know that for some, this much needed time inside is allowing us to thrive into new topics…
