Soul Food
poetry, n/a, 2015, NFS
This is the text of the physical piece, "Soul Food".
Introspection has always inspired me to create, but connection inspires me to share those creations. I create with the belief that everything I make is made for someone else to connect with and better understand themselves and their surroundings through. The use of different mediums allows me to expand my reach because each medium has its own unique audience.
I am a Seattle transplant, by way of St. Louis, MO and have been creating since age 9. Poetry was my first art-love and was my inspiration to branch out to other mediums. In 2015, I decided to examine other ways to share poetry aside from traditional book formatting. From there, I've created short films, comics, 2D artwork, and songs. I have also taken some courses in photography, printmaking, and vocal technique, but am largely self-taught.
