This work was created in the transitional space that emerged after completing my master's degree in art therapy and beginning my career as an art therapist in a homeless shelter in Brooklyn. My studies in the field of art therapy freed me from my formal art training and allowed me the opportunity to work as closely to raw intuition and my unconscious as possible.

Loathsome creatures examines the vulnerable side of the hated and distrusted in society. Societal stereotypes perpetuate an ever increasing cast system of poverty in America. The works in this exhibition attempts to probe uncommon perceptions with empathy. Many of the works in this exhibit show the visceral experience of the American power system through both the eyes of the empowered and the marginalized individual. The delicate balance of self-acceptance and self-judgement are on display with an openness that I hope serves as a mirror for all human experience.
