Artist Statement:
My creative liberation is an act of rebellion. A way of vocalizing the graffiti of words and images in my head. Drawing inspiration from an urban street art influence, much of my work is crafted with the rawness of city culture, the sounds of shaking spray cans, and the smell of aerosol in mind.
