I'm always thankful for the constant, unwavering support of my family and friends in all of my artistic endeavours. Whether it's visual or performing arts, I strive to not take for granted those who encourage me, celebrate with me and lift my spirits in this continuing journey. I'm truly blessed to have such a full life. Within this gratitude, I feel it's important to give to others. I love being able to donate my art, in singing or dancing or playing music or with my creations. We all have our gifts; let's remember to share from the heart.
