I am a multi-faceted Atlanta artist who makes performances, installations, drawings, and other art objects that are influenced by my life, dreams, and control. Throughout my art career, my performances have incorporated various forms of social control. Lately I’ve been concentrating on affecting the audiences’ experience with my performances. My center has shifted from what I experience (and if my field of vision contains beauty) to what the audience sees happening, and what they feel.

I am the mentally ill, single mom of a 6 year old, and my art reflects that.
