“Carte Blanche” or the Art of Pressing Reset on the Story of Our Lives
Artists are the voices of those who don’t have one or choose not to own it. Even when an artist reflects on their own story, they do so in such a way that it resonates with us — it inspires, shocks, entertains, or teaches us. That’s the ultimate purpose, anyway.

Passionately Creative
Thinking about what my number one passion would be is hard for me. I have so many things that I love doing and that just make my heart smile. I would almost say that my passion would be writing, because I’m a soon-to-be author and also a for-fun musician that writes both the melodies and the lyrics. But there’s just something else that makes that not sound right, so I had to do some thinking before I came to my final conclusion.

"Somewhere over the rainbow is a land where the dreams you dare to dream do come true. "- Wizard of Oz Born an artist, from as far back as I can remember I have been creative. Often my school assignments would be covered in pictures with a teacher never needing to find my name because the work stuck out like a sore thumb. In most classes this was almost like a deal we would make with each other, me and the teacher that is. Focusing on anything that was not project orientated was like reeling in a fish with a line that wasn't strong enough, a difficult task for even the most experienced teacher. So being able to draw at the same time as listening was very helpful. This was a deal mostly made in math classes because I could find the art in almost any other. Yes graphs and geometry can be made beautiful, truly anything can be but in science, social studies, English, AT, Cultural arts, etcetera, it was much easier to find.

Upcycler Extraordinaire
When you throw something away, where is away? I’m a native Detroiter who cares about the environment and wants to make a difference. So I upcycle. My journey into upcycling started with a simple mason jar, which I turned into a handy pump-top soap bottle. The transformation captivated me, drawing me to the idea that something so banal and ubiquitous as a jar could be converted into a useful, good-looking household item. When I learned that reusing one jar saves enough energy to watch TV for three hours, I was hooked. From there I was transforming jars into household gadgets ranging from light fixtures and pincushions to cocktail shakers and piggy banks. Today I consider myself an upcycler extraordinaire, taking just about anything headed for the waste stream and reinventing its use.
