I create edgy found-object art influenced by vintage styles, local color, and reliquaries. My pieces include voodoo dolls, ornaments, decorative objects for the home, and fashion accessories. Growing up in New Orleans, a place that is rich in history and tradition, I developed an appreciation for the spirit of the people—how they celebrate every facet of life, including death. I find beauty in places and objects that are often ignored or forgotten.

The O Bracelet Project: I find it interesting that women across the world are working together on a common goal. It is wonderful that such a simple concept is helping women better their lives. The O Bracelet Project is bringing to light the talents of many known and unknown artists.
