in May 2019, two of my absolute favorites drew yours truly, in pencil only, for a fundraiser to help CASP build more studios for artists. I’m in awe & gratitude of their talents, friendship, & love. thank you, Ghislaine & Lando Fremaux-Valdez for rendering me in graphite, for an amazing place, & your love on the daily 💙💙💙.

this has been a year of trauma & healing, & this piece was made at a point that I needed it most, even if I didn’t realize it at the time. thank you Ghi & Lando, for giving me strength & being there during the darkest & the lightest of times. love, always & forever, for the people who can see you & love you & lift you.

want to say more, but that’s all that I can in this public place at this time. working every day to change the arts for the better during my time here, & also on myself always. XO.
