Artist Statement: I think that my piano is the perfect way to connect way to connect to the community. We live in a time where we have to make large strives in order to save the environment. I hope that my piano reminds people how beautiful nature is and that they should be more conscious of decisions that they make. I hope that people see my piano and think, "we must preserve the Earth before it loses all its beauty and animals."
