Artist Statement:

“I was born and raised in Philly. I’ve been challenged and faced obstacles. I have a troubled family, every family goes to dark places, and we’ve managed to rise above it. 

Art came into my life when I was three and it was a healing medicine. I worked with coloring books – grey, yellow, orange, you name it, I worked with all colors. I learned how to mix paints. I have a hidden talent, ability within myself, I’ve known since I was three or four or five that I was destined to be a great artist.” 

​
