my new art

 

Hi and welcome back
I have been talking with a curator based out of Australia who has an online gallery  who is interested in my work  and are in the early stadges of having a promotional page and a solo show if everthing goes well.
wish me luck

My message

my message is centered upon my personal life experiences. I was born premature, at 1 pound 16 ounces with a brain hemorrhage. Later in my school years I was placed in learning disabilities resource rooms, and struggled with mental illness on a psychiatric ward. I received therapy that led to my attending the prestigious Emily Carr University of Art +Design. While I had, and have, struggles and challenges in my life I am also successful, my message is one of hope. Perceived disabilities do not mean you cannot be successful. My presentation will include images of my artwork to enhance the story and encourage hope
