As a Multidisciplinary Artist and single mom, time has had to become fluid for me in order to create. My latest works consist of images capturing moments in my life along with prose concerning homelessness, The Patriarchy, living as a gender-fluid person in the 80s and 90s in DC and Baltimore, and the characters that come along with that life. I am actively seeking publishers interested in such works, and galleries and pop-ups that may be interested in said subject matter. Corporate sponsorships are also, of course, welcomed and appreciated.
