Why do you use the medium you use?

Being incarcerated, I find a way to work with what I have, and pencil is what I had.

What role does art play in your life?

I use art to remove myself from the chaos in my life, also because it is something I enjoy that benefits me and my mental health. It's also good for meditation.

What inspires you to create?

Seeing the artwork of other people.

Transformation Statement

Transformation to me is a change in thought process that results in the growth of state of mind and changes in a person's actions and behaviors. I have transformed by learning how negative past experiences have impacted my life, how to move past those experiences and learn to use them to become a better person physically, mentally, and emotionally. My hope for transformation is to continue my growth and break free from my past and live in a new life with healthy relationships and positivity.
