I was awarded one of three 2010 Lilla Jewel Fund For Women Artists Social Justice Awards.

McKenzie River Gathering Foundation commissioned me to create an original artwork that speaks to Social Justice. My piece entitled, "Mirror, Mirror ... There I Am!" was unveiled at the MRG fundraiser, "Justice Within Reach" on April 10, 2010.

My mission with my art is to unite all people in joy.

With my exuberantly colorful, intuitive artworks, starring brown characters, I bring to the forefront, with candor and humor, the truth that we all, no matter our color or culture, are the same - inherently human - entitled to love, peace, equal treatment and joy.

I aim to give voice, visibility and a leading role in the pictures, and on the stage of "the theatre of humanity and life," to the dark-skinned among us, whom are so often omitted from any positive joyful, energetic and life-giving "productions." These ideas are central in "Mirror, Mirror ... There I Am!"
