"I create in response to the idea that I am always changing, growing, and evolving. My body of work is fluid and undefined by one medium or style as I fully embrace this process of discovery in how and why I make art. I hope that when viewers see my work they walk away feeling inspired to be to open to reflection and change within themselves." -Banish
