In this personal artist statement, the speaker describes art as an organic, responsive dialogue shaped by the ancient world, knowledge, and the vibrant energy of New York City. They explore themes of existence, seeking essence and order within chaos, and focus on movement, natural patterns, and the use of lines, circles, form, and color. Practices such as focus, consciousness, and meditation inform their creative process. In response to the youth suicide and depression crisis, they created the "Kids Transform" program, which equips children with emotional intelligence tools through mindfulness and creative activities, aiming to evolve social structures by integrating new ideas.

Chapters

Art is. Life has always been a part of me. It's an organic response unfolding to the environment, a dialogue. I'm influenced by the ancient world, knowledge and the vibration of New York City. Intrigued by existence, I seek the essence and concepts. Order in chaos, containing energy, exploring movement and patterns in nature. I incorporate lines and circles, form and color, focus, consciousness, meditation. In response to the suicide and depression epidemic plaguing the youth I created made Kids transform, giving kids tools for emotional intelligence through mindfulness and creative process. To facilitate the evolution of a social structure, we must engage with new ideas, encompassing them.
