Dirty Bandits, Pier 17, NYC, NY 2023
Artist Statement I paint this message for other, and I paint this message for me. As this project continues to grow so do I and so does my work. I am grateful for this community and all it has taught me as a fellow human and as an artist. Through this project I hope others find patience and grace with themselves and those around them. I am constantly reminded as I read each artists statement that we never know what challenges someone’s mental health is facing. Be gentle and patient, keep coming back.
