“My whole progression in art and painting has been parallel to my personal growth or transformation – my own journey of growing into a more authentic, more fully self-expressed me.”
“It’s just about making it not precious at all. It’s about honoring myself and acknowledging that I have a right to be here just like anyone else and I have a contribution just as much as everyone else does.”
