Visual Art – San Jose

Every human being has a story to tell, and much of this story is lost. Locked away inside, while fear holds them back from their fullest expression. These inner wishes, desires, and emotions lay silent and keep us disconnected. The vulnerability of an ordinary life is capable of making an impact towards change. It inspires others out of loneliness and into safety. I consider myself a journalist of these lost stories. To remind and reconnect what is lost in translation, and bring attention to what it is to be human. Artistically, I am compelled to tell these stories through visual images of color and beauty.
