"In high school I was asked to give a quote to go alongside my photo in the year book. Not given much time to think, I stated, "I have a dream, and I will achieve it." As an artist it's hard to find inspiration when you're being advised to give up on that dream, to find another career...a Plan B. I never developed a Plan B outside of the art industry.

I only knew that this was something I had to go through and that things would get better eventually, the beautiful struggle." "My art reflect positivity and diversity.
