Artist Statement:

I have found peace within my own being and I am on a good path of self acceptance. My biggest life goal is to help others with their struggles involving identity and self acceptance. This includes helping the deaf and transgender communities learn to accept themselves and have pride in who they are. For many years I myself hid in my own shell. I am proud to be a trans man and, as a trans man, I would like to help convey to others that they are not alone. I hope that through my art I am able to inspire people to love, respect and accept themselves just the way they are.
