Artist Statement

" In every piece I created, the faces, the secrets,the stories, hold emotion that captivate me. As an indigenous person myself , nature speaks to the very essence of my being and of my people. That is what i want to portray and impart in my work. To share my wonderful and beautiful culture with the world"
