Artist Statement: Although I haven’t been fortunate enough to experience a Sing for Hope Piano firsthand, I have been aware of the program for a while and have seen videos and pictures of them lighting up faces and bringing people together. I recognize that the positive impact the pianos have on people is tremendous, my style is playful and bright and if selected, I believe that my work will contribute to that sense of togetherness and joy that I have seen and heard the Sing for Hope Pianos bring.
