Systems of Oppression
We cannot speak of oppression without talking about privilege and we cannot talk about privilege without feeling shame. But, what if we could put that shame aside and really look at the gears that control the systems of oppression? Despite our justifications and unwillingness to see, they exist - turning the clocks of racism, sexism, classism and all other "isms" based on fear and control.

Maternity Series - Artist Statement
Color is a focus of my work for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is for healing. My father was an angry and violent man. He took out his rage on his family daily and I took it upon myself to protect my mother and brother from him by becoming the focus of his fury. We didn’t have much, but my mother filled our home with colorful art to bring radiance into an otherwise dark place. I followed in her footsteps and escaped into vibrant art of all shapes and forms. Getting into the flow of mindful art creation has been the single most important part of my healing. I hope to share the happiness that colorful art brings me with others, especially children.
