Bio: I served in the Army from 1999-2012 deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq.

Impact art has made: For me art and music has opened me up for my healing process.

New Beginnings: My portrait of new beginnings is my timeline after my injures. The silhouette on the left is being a hermit not wanting to leave the house but slowly connecting with other veterans and me standing on own and the new beginnings with a blank canvas.

Piece created with: I used a blank canvas, acrylic paints, and vinyl templates.
