what an absolute blessing and amazing experience it was to be New Wave’s 2022 Artist-In-Residence! Thanks to @newwaveartwknd and @thesquarewestpalm I was able to spend two months in West Palm Beach and dive deeper into my research, experiment with works that I’ve had in mind for some time, and meet amazing individuals! Additionally, I had the honor to lead workshops: "Who Am I? Expression of Self through Exploration of Object and Performance" and "Who Am I and How do I Grow!" alongside the divine @pranoo_k of @rohisreadery! Participants and I created self-portraits that question altar making and self-representation. Thank you Pranoo for opening your doors and your heart to me! . Thank you so much @newwaveartwknd and @missgavlak of @gavlakgallery for your trust in me and generosity!!! Your support has been a game changer for me in regards to my confidence as a creator. The access you have granted me has allowed me to step into spaces that I could never have dreamed of. . Thank you so much @sarahhaimes for EVERYTHING!! You’re a power house and I’m grateful to be in your orbit. I was able to expand through this experience thanks to you. . Thank you so much @the.real.wilbur for being my WPB BF!! You’re such a gem. I appreciate your generosity and awesomeness so much. . “Piña Y Cerezas” 2022 Acrylic on Canvas 8 x 10 Inches 📸: @the.real.wilbur
