100 Artists of 2024
Wish Me Luck!
Reflecting on my artistic journey and influences over the past 20 years, I hope my art contributes to the evolving art landscape and positively impacts my community. My commitment to philanthropy, pushing artistic boundaries, supporting women, and using art for change is dedicated to making a meaningful contribution.
From soft pastel landscapes to Web3 and virtual reality painting, I utilize tools like Open-brush to create Metaverse fine art, breaking boundaries and orchestrating real-time NFT art for events at Meow Wolf, NYC-NFT, conferences, ACTAI Global, and Space Valley Coalition.
My 'political pop' art project titled CrunchTrump, features a 4-foot tall portrait of Donald Trump crafted entirely from Cheetos to inspire women to run for politics.
My large scale installation work, 'The Empty Womb,' addresses infertility and IVF by sewing together medical supplies (my in-vitro journey) with traditional women's work. This project, likened to Judy Chicago's 'The Dinner Table,' garnered international recognition, debuting at the UN, touring India. Betsy Chasse (What the Bleep Do We Know) made a documentary about it. It was celebrated in The New York Times, Parade, Huffington Post, and Worth Magazine.
Collaborations with Grammy Winners such as MercyMe, KebMo, and Mayhem Lane showcase my expressive art, shaped by an insatiable hunger for new experiences, cultures, and thoughts
The death of my Mother at 3 years old ignited a quest for empathy, propelling my passion for supporting those in need.
In essence, my dedication to philanthropy, pushing artistic boundaries, supporting community and other artists, and doing good in the world through art positions me as an artist whose work hopes to contribute meaningfully to the evolving art landscape. I sincerely hope that my commitment, coupled with a fearless artistic style, makes me a compelling candidate among the top 100 artists to watch in 2024.
