ARTIST STATEMENT
Art-making allows me to explore and bridge gaps in my understanding of myself and the world. I aim to illuminate aspects of our humanity with which we’re unaware of or have lost touch with; giving voice to unsung heroes and untold histories. Art becomes simply a vehicle for putting forth information, raising awareness and encouraging positive action.

My current work focuses on social/political/environmental issues surrounding the illegal and prolonged occupation of Hawai’i, drawing inspiration from the growing Hawaiian Independence Movement, culminating most recently in the Protect Mauna Kea and Aloha Aina Movements.
