Not too long ago, everything felt random and disconnected. My world was spiraling out of control and my life purpose was far from obvious. I was uncertain about my future and the world had become precarious. I was unable to articulate my thoughts and feelings, which is in itself profoundly frustrating; especially when you speak two languages. I needed clarity, but no matter how hard I tried; I was left in the dark. It was as if my feelings were conspiring with the gloomy Seattle weather.
Over the last three years, I’ve had the privilege to meet energetic beautiful souls who are actively advocating for our rights. Many of them, risking their own future to make sure the American Dream continues to be within reach for everyone. Regardless of skin color, where they were born or what social circumstances they were born into. Their efforts and resilience inspired me to overcome my sorrow and begin a slow healing process. It was by being in community, that I found my new vision and regained my passion for art.
On my 35th birthday I made a commitment to myself; to unapologetically own my authentic narrative. Since then, I’ve been rewriting my story, making genuine connections, letting go of what doesn't serve me, keeping my intentions pure, working on myself from the inside out and pouring all of that into my art, lots of it. I am working on ten different bodies of work, which I plan to complete throughout the year and hopefully share with y’all.
