I use art to express my individuality, identity, and connect with others who might relate to the shared experience, culture, and identity expressed in my artwork. The artwork and the process of creating allows me to take a look inside my core, reflect and see how and where I fit within contemporary art and culture. 

My body of work is a documentation of moments and sacrifices my parents have had to endure to afford myself and my siblings resources and opportunities to have the life we have.  I am reminded every day of the hardships my parents went through that eventually afforded me the ability to actively pursue and accomplish my own dreams. I am not making artwork that is just aesthetically pleasing, I’m creating art that impacts how we see those around us.
