ABOUT ME

 

 

 

 

 

I believe my purpose as an artist is to challenge society’s faults, mock, mimic, satirize, entertain and document psycho-social injustices and some of my own personal experiences.  Thru collage and photography I use my characters to communicate my thoughts and emotions. I was born to express myself.
