Art is Freedom
Birds of a Feather Art Project
Faith - Democracy - Nature
2025: Birds of a Feather marks my 13th social art project since 2013. This year, I turned my canvases and news camera toward three enduring pillars: Faith, Democracy, and Nature—code words for Religion, Politics, and Women. Through this lens, I explored how these forces shape our collective story and challenge our personal truths. This journey is rooted in my lifelong practice of free press, which began at age 17 when I served as editor of my high school newspaper, Out To Lunch. Storytelling has always been my way of engaging with the world—an act of civic expression that fuses journalism and art to provoke dialogue, amplify the overlooked, and illuminate the unseen.
