It is only thru true and vulnerable community that we will be saved. The art will lead us.

This is me

I am an artist holding fast to my child like wonder and finding my tribe. Using various media, I strive to "see" beyond knowledge and into truth. A devoted resident of Akron, OH, I am committed to and proud of my community of kindhearted, hardworking and creative neighbors.

I use art as a pathway towards building community.

I believe that it is essential for one to have a deep and honest understanding of themselves in order to be a healthy and contributing member of a community. Only with this knowledge can one understand the part they play in their community and the part their community plays in their life. ​

 

Art is a powerful tool that can be used to facilitate one's understanding of self and of community. Through art as both a moment and an artifact individuals are able to learn more about themselves and others in a passive and engaging way. ​

 

Thru my art I desire to understand myself, connect to others and build the community that my heart craves. Every art class, training session, motivational speech or one on one moment is an opportunity for me to share the tools and truths that I have learned allowing others to realize the same goals of personal understanding and deep and meaningful community.
