About me:

I am a visual artist living in Philadelphia.

For the last few years my work has been focused on issues involving abuse. My intent has been to raise awareness about the effects- immediate and long-term- and in a way, force society to see those effects. Currently I am transitioning/experimenting into other focuses.
