Art is Freedom
Birds of a Feather Art Project
Faith - Democracy - Nature
Left Stage, Exit Right, From The ARTifice: Birds of a Feather—my 13th social art project since 2013—continues my life long flight since earning my wings, turning both canvas and news camera toward the Femininity of Faith, Democracy, and Nature. I explore how these forces shape our collective story while challenging our personal truths. This project is rooted in my lifelong practice of free press. Storytelling has always been my way of engaging community—an act of civic expression that fuses observation, listening, and art to promote healing, amplify the overlooked, and illuminate the darkness.

Love can lighten the darkness
