Abstract Artist, Filmmaker, Poet....Giving way to a whole creative talented artist. Former dancer and visual performer with the Kansas city youth ballet and seeker of the soul within us all. I find life in my art, and art in life itself..... Current projects I am working on, a new body of artwork entilted "LIFE" Includes 3 pieces that are interconnected. My past work entilted "gold and silver a perspective" ended its showing run with 4 pieces sold. Currently I am starting new works this year while in artist residency.

My current documentry film is about Domestic Violence and Violence against Indigenous women as of 2013 it will go into production. My painting "fire" was featured on the cover of Honoring Indigenous women vol 2 book, it features stories and poems from Indigenous women about how they have survived through violence and colonization. I plan to partner with this organization and several in New Mexico to bring these stories to life.
