In my artwork, writing, and creative pursuits I will be 

PURPOSEFUL, always having a “WHY.”

VULNERABLE in expressing my voice and vision.

BOLD, unapologetic for the stories I chose to tell and how I tell them.

AUTHENTIC, true to myself.

PASSIONATE about my work.

HOPEFUL that my creations will foster change and resonate.

OPEN MINDED, open to change and criticism

INSPIRED by other artists and artworks.

I will care about what I am creating. 

I believe in creating beautiful things, ugly things, funny things, sad things, bad things, good things. 

I believe in creating things.
