Artist Reflections

Making art will ask you to tell the truth. It will push you past what feels comfortable. It will ask you to show up, even when you’re not ready. And if you’re willing to stay in the discomfort, it will reflect you back to yourself.

We live in a world that encourages masks. Polished feeds. Perfect answers. But art? Art doesn’t care about your filters. That’s the power and radical truth about art. That’s the power of story.
