Golden, golden, golden as I open my eyes
Hold it, focus, hoping, take me back to the light

from what feels like a lifetime ago but really it’s only been 6 years.

The fishnet theory is a metaphor that shares the idea that humans understanding can be compared to a fishnet in the ocean of reality. The size of the holes in the net are the limits of our perception and conceptual frameworks.

How we deal with the summer heat in Arizona is to get back into the studio. I mean its only been 6 months since I touched my camera 🥹

It’s such a beautiful print.

I did a thing. People saw my work and I met some incredible supportive and talented artists. For someone that doesn’t leave the house at night, it was a really really cool experience. Thank you to the OVAME Office for Veteran and Military Academic Engagement, Arizona Art Alliance
for the support and recognition. Congratulations to all the veteran artists.

There is beauty and strength found in vulnerability and by sharing a greater understanding of our diverse realities I hope my work resonates with viewers on an emotional level but also inspires conversations that lead to greater inclusivity and recognition of all individuals’ worth and potential.

Wearing a veil doesn't mean you can't see at all, but it can distort your view.

Spontaneous laughter is the best medicine.

Today is was cold enough to make me miss summer.

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness” - John Steinbeck
