About Me

I am working on my PhD, developing the REDprojectx, and starting The Agency with two colleagues to add value and alleviate the stresses of entertainers. I am editing Crimson Gloves.I moved to Houston in July 2007. This summer, June 2009 I am moving back to Detroit where the REDprojectx have cultivated a strong presence for my art and collaborative efforts with other like-minded artists. I hope this enables a sort of "cross pollination" within the art scene so that different types of art will be more integrated and less segregated. This will enhance the quality of art work we produce and will build a stronger community of artists by enhancing our support base and giving us a stronger foundation from which to grow individually and communally.those who danced were thought to be quite insane by those who could not hear the music. I do not know who wrote that quote but I love it because I love individuality and despise all types of judgmentalism that intimidate people from simply being themselves - authentic human beings rather than the cookie cutter people our society creates through judgments and the idea that we need to fit a preconceived stereotype about how we should be as people and how we should live our lives. I think art is a wonderful way to express oneself. This is why I want to put on art shows and events that showcase peoples individuality. I only ask that people submit unique works that reflect their take on a theme or idea.I collect quotes. I really appreciate motivational and empowering quotes that remind us to value our authenticity. They also help me to stay centered or grounded...to remember my priorities and not get caught up in the quagmire of crap and drama that seems to infiltrate the human condition and life at large. They also help me to stay positive. Two of these types of quotes are as follows: The self-realized person becomes who she really is with no apology. She does not need to please nor does she need to offend. She does not need your approval or your attention. She is content to be herself in all situations and circumstances. This is an unedited and unrepressed person. She is on fire with the truth and she burns bright. You might love her or hate her but you can't pretend not to see her or hear what she has to say. Where others waiver and give in she stands firm. Even if she fears death, she does not let that fear hold her back from speaking the truth in each moment. Her commitment to Truth is certain and irrevocable.I don't know who wrote that.The other one I mentioned is: You decide how you feel at any given moment. You pick the persona you wish to portray. Any deviation or disagreement between how you presently experience your physical, mental, and emotional state and how you desire to experience them only means you have yet to fully conquer and master your ego. You may have forgotten that you are not your body - you are just housed inside of it for convenience in navigating this reality. So just remember - mind over matter.I wrote this quote which is basically a summary of several books I read pertaining to energy and creative visualization.Some of the art work I do is specifically for creative visualization purposes. These pieces are called Subliminal Creations and I just got the logo trademarked. I will be showing these during my art shows as well. I am doing my first art show on April 4th at Studio 601 in Detroit, MI.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars. -Jack Kerouac
