I work with autistic children through art and dance in order for them to find better ways to express themselves to the world. I love putting a smile on their faces and watching them do something they love.

In high school, I went to Mali, West Africa and lived in an indigenous village for two weeks to help build a school. Mali is one of the poorest undeveloped countries in the world and the literacy rate is unbelievably low. I like knowing that I helped both children and adults learn to read and write which will help not only this small village, but Mali as a whole.

I feel it is my gift to make others smile. Whether by seeing my various unnatural hair colors, helping them when in need, telling a joke to lighten their mood, or just being there to listen. If my smile can brighten just one soul, I am happy.
Why are you participating?
To share what has been given to me and to help out an artist who is changing the world.

I volunteered this past summer as a camp counselor at the Circle of Tapawingo. The program is a free one-week overnight camp for bereaved girls between the ages of eight and 16. The campers arrive sharing the common bond of loss and they leave with feelings similar to these expressed by a camper in a thank-you note to her counselors:
"My father died four years ago. He always used to give me presents and I miss that. I wish I could tell him that the best present I've received since he died was my week at Circle of Tapawingo."

I have always been labeled as "something" by people who don't understand what an artist is or what one looks like. I am also heavily tattooed. I have been called a convict and a freak by total strangers.

I am an eco-artist, and advocate for decreased plastic usage through my work.

People are so limited by the labels other put on them. Most labels aren't truly accurate.
I suppose that I am doing this project to say, yes, I am that label. Here's the truth about it and here's why it's actually a compliment.
