This work represents the harsh reality of the flawed reporting process in regards to acts of violence. It is important to have a neutral non biased party involved throughout this process to ensure psychological safety.

Artist Statement
As an abstract expressionist in this complex world, traditional approaches in creating a piece are often ignored highlighting an eclectic yet minimalist style. By utilizing my artistic strengths, I have discovered my passion throughout this journey. It is my hope to elicit an emotional response within the audience and generate more conversation about social injustice. 

Inspiration comes from life experience and critical reflection in regards to working in health care. Throughout the creation process I am often submerged in a meditative state reflecting on many personal and work life events. The intuitive nature of this expression acts as a sense of release and self care to aid in further resiliency. My use of unique compositions, balance, and negative space represents the differing perspectives in society and the many gaps within the current systems.

Much more discussion is needed surrounding the topics of current social injustice such as systemic discrimination, segregation, domestic/workplace violence, mental health, substance use, freedom of choice/speech just to name few. It is my mission to drive transcendence and create more awareness through the use of mixed media abstract art.
