Creative expression is a need for survival; for me it is greater than passion or love.
I like to refer to my creations as experiential art as this need originated from discoveries I have made through life’s toughest lessons. This is my therapy; a way to untangle the complexities of being me. Confronting truths and being honest to me requires courage, determination, discipline and heart. Awareness and acknowledgement, taking risks and learning create a nurturing environment for me to be healthy emotionally psychologically and physically. I believe it to be miraculous that I have been given the chance to continue on journeying and living; there is freedom in ‘love’ and I choose to connect, give, support, and share with you and the world my intimate life experiences. |
