"They taught me purpose.
I don't just make something to show, I make it to speak."

"I currently have an installation at the Smithsonian, a photography exhibit at the Kennedy Center and my work was selected by VSA to travel throughout the United States. Without the art faculty's encouragement and concern for my success, this would never have been possible."
