"The act of completing a work of art is satisfactory in itself. What really brings me joy is when I have the opportunity to see how people react to my work at community events. Much of my art uses humor as a tool to break the ice on topics that may be difficult to talk about such as mental health, otherism, climate change, and consumerism. Obtaining the approval of others isn’t the most important goal of my art making but it is a privilege to see how my work can brighten peoples’ day and maybe even evoke some critical thinking."
