Friends and family,
I'm honored to be competing in The People's Artist competition as a self-taught artist who didn't begin creating until later in life.
What started as a way to process grief, faith, family, and healing has grown into a body of work that has been exhibited, collected, and shared with people far beyond what I ever imagined.
