Art is my tool to reflect the times and inform future visions. I am inspired by the potential for art to shape the ways we think about the world — how is it experienced, visualized, created, and altered. This provides opportunities to show what others do not see, reflecting the micro and macro views of the world, shifting to newfound perspectives to elaborate our own.

In an effort to find comfort and connectedness through art, architecture, and design, Helms Design District in partnership with the Culver City Arts Foundation, is hosting and curating Projecting Possibilities, a video installation featuring rotating digital art exhibitions to celebrate, nourish, support, and promote Los Angeles-based artists.
Art restores our souls, eases our worry, grief, and isolation. Art inspires, educates, and delights. Art embraces and quiets us in our time of need. This program is designed to cultivate creativity and encourage community connection through arts and culture. The artists’ work may be viewed from sunset until 2:00 am on the entrance of the Helms Design Center at 8745 Washington Boulevard, projecting out for street-side viewing. To thank each artist for their work and contribution to this project, they will receive a grant provided by Helms Bakery District and the Culver City Arts Foundation.
The video work entitled Left Behind, features landscape drawings on discarded plastics collected near the North Pole. As the plastics float to the water’s surface like glaciers in the ocean, it calls to question: what is left behind when the ice melts? Human impact is reshaping our planet, affecting the farthest reaches of our planet. This work reflects on such impacts, gathering artifacts from the places we alter without noticing.
