As an artist, I attempt to dispel the myth that creation belongs solely to artists. My main objective is to get all people to explore their creativity and appreciate the varied talents that exist within each community. My work within communities has always focused on the youth. Through the use of art, I am able to instill in them values such as self-esteem, respect, pride and dignity. Foundations vital to the growth and well being of the indiviual. It is my belief that the strength and essence of any community is contained in their youth.
