Artist Statement: In Wings for Hope, I used personal experiences and observations of our city and its incredible people as inspiration. In 2014, I believed so infinitely in what I was doing, but was barely surviving. I knew I had to make life changes, but refused to stop doing the arts facilitation through my work at the non-profit. I went for a walk to visit the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens and had an encounter with a hummingbird. I was invigorated with inspiration and a plan to change my life. Since, I have been exploring the hummingbird in my fine art, celebrating his symbolic values of internal hope, eternal love and survival.
