Artist Statement
My art practice and performances are fashioned to contribute meaningful insight from my unique and special POV. My work has been fashioned for each focal point, each audience and each space that I have been invited to.

justice, love, fear, power, patriarchy, racism, gender, alcoholism and paranoia.
People like my work because I appear fearless, brave, validating, open, honest and trustworthy. As an artist I wish to embody those elements that are missing in society, to make the invisible visible, the silent audible, the good better, the bad good and the ugly beautiful.
I wish to collaborate with a broad range of artists, workers and technicians to create valuable observations and new commentary on our environment. Through this I will learn and then propel myself into a better and more validating consciousness. Film, video, music, comedy, spoken word poetry, monologues and screenwriting have been my way through to the other side.
