Artist Statement
As a Multi Medium artist, I hope to provoke difficult conversations and challenge our social perspectives, drawing inspiration from innovative musicians and filmmakers such as; Spike Lee, A Tribe Called Quest, Kendrick Lamar. Art is an essential form of expression, throughout history it has proven countless times it can push social change and start movements. My art acts as a medium to advocate for the oppressed and I will continue to seek justice and work toward peace for all.
