73rd Annual Juried Art Show 2020!

I am very excited to announce that I have been accepted into the Gilpin County 73rd Annual Juried Art Show this August 2020. In the wrath of destruction that 2020 has been seeing, it’s hopeful to see myself growing as an artist. This hopefully will continue and I will be able to spread the love around the world through my art.

The piece that was accepted was “Not Forgotten” which is a image of myself on the first day of my journey through the Georgia prison system. I took a print out of my prison mug shot and transferred it onto a spray painted canvas.

It’s called “Not Forgotten” because this journey is a part of my life and was a place where I had 2 birthdays, three Thanksgivings, and Christmas’s. It will never be forgotten in my mind because it is a powerful part that will continue to drive me forward in this world. I know my voice, but I am still learning to trust it. Allowing myself to voice it loud and proud to help move this world into a positive direction.

Thank you to everyone who does believe in me and continues to support me.
