The primary focus of my work is to understand myself as a human being. Each piece typically begins with a vision, but it's only through engaging with the work that I begin to grasp its subconsious meaning. Certain motifs frequently emerge in my art�humanity, animals, and my Indigenous culture�all of which help me delve deeper into my own belief systems.Through my practice, I�ve come to believe that the more you understand yourself, the more you can contribute to society. Thus, every painting or artwork I create becomes part of an ongoing dialogue about the eternal pursuit of progress and connection.This, I believe, is the true function of art�to initiate a conversation that transcends the object itself and continues into future generations. As I explore my connection to humanity, I find more commonalities than differences and hope to contribute to a worldwide movement that truly transcends social constructs which keep us artificially divided
