This is my dedication to my cat Rex whom I’ve had since he was a kitten. Before I met my husband and got my other pets, it was just me and Rex. He was the runt of the litter and is now over 20lbs. He loves belly rubs and napping with me. Whenever I’m sick or in the studio you will always see Rex near by.

Art has always been the biggest part of my life. When I was a little girl I loved drawing my family and comic book characters. I vaguely remember drawing houses with a roof with a chimney because how else is Santa us presents to the projects in Brooklyn.
What was more important to me however was having a house where both of my Grandmothers lived were I can see them and receive their love and wisdom. This is a homage to them and my day dreaming as a child.

My brother and I loved going to Coney Island as kids. The beach and rides also the gyros! So many memories. I wanted to recreate some old family photos that capture a specific moment in time.

A few years ago I had a massive anxiety attack and didn’t know it. I felt overwhelmed that my chest was tightening and I was crying a lot. I was rushed to the ER. That’s when the doctor told me what was going on. I had nightmares of me drowning. I always remembered the scene from Alice in Wonderland where she cried so much it created a flood.

I had a dream the other night where I kept trying to escape this room filled with water on the floor and ceiling. I kept going in a loop. I was taunted with the idea of escape but there wasn’t any real escape. I was in my own purgatory.

Art has always been a way for me to cope with things in my life I find difficult to talk about. From suicide, sexual assault, emotional abuse, abandonment issues, I’m in a constant loop of emotions. I use bright bold colors and cartoonish figure to help me mentally break that loop. As long as I’m alive these issues will be the burdens I carry with me.

The weight we hold on our shoulders individually is heavy. My blessing and curse is my vulnerability. I’ve often struggle on who to be or not be vulnerable with. I’ve opened to people who’ve used my words to hurt me and almost pushed me to a point of no return.
I’ve picked up the pieces countless times and kept going because life is much more than the problems of my world. I learned that life is what I make of it. I have to take the good with the bad. To find the lessons from it all and move onto a healthy state of mind.
This piece is a symbol of that open vulnerability that is both beautiful and hard to look at.
