FREMONT / BAY AREA — I NEED YOU.
I’m currently in 3rd place for The People’s Artist, and I’m trying to push back to 1st place before voting ends.

This isn’t just a contest to me.

I’m a Bay Area artist, public muralist, and art teacher. I’ve spent years creating work for my community, teaching kids that their creativity matters, and using art to tell real human stories.

Now I need my community to help carry me across the finish line.

Voting is limited-time 2X votes right now, and every single vote helps.

From the bottom of my heart — thank you.
Let’s bring this home.

I’m currently 2nd place in my group for The People’s Artist contest — and today votes count 2X until 9PM PDT. 🎨✨

This is a huge opportunity: the winner gets a chance to be featured in Artforum Magazine, win $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium’s Salon.

As an artist and art teacher, I create work to give visibility to forgotten stories, celebrate resilience, and offer hope through expressive color and human connection. Getting this far already means so much — but I need one more push.

Please vote for me today and share this post with anyone who supports artists, teachers, creativity, or Bay Area art.

✨ MAY THE 4TH BE WITH ME ✨

I’m officially part of Johnny Depp Presents: The People’s Artist — and I need your help.

This competition is about more than winning. It’s about lifting up artists who tell real stories — stories of forgotten voices, resilience, struggle, beauty, and hope.

I’m asking for your vote today to help me move forward for a chance to win $25,000, appear in Artforum Magazine, and display my work at The Art of Elysium’s Salon.

Every vote helps. Every share helps even more.

And in true May the 4th spirit…

Help me bring this artist’s journey to the next galaxy.
May the art be with you. 🌌🎨

🚨 BIG NEWS — I need your vote! 🚨

I’m officially part of **Johnny Depp Presents: The People’s Artist**, and public voting begins **today at 10AM PDT**.

This opportunity could help me share my artwork with a much larger audience, appear in **Artforum Magazine**, display my work at **The Art of Elysium’s Salon**, and compete for **$25,000** to keep building meaningful, community-centered art.

For me, art has always been about more than making something beautiful. It’s about giving visibility to forgotten stories, celebrating resilience, and creating hope through color, emotion, and human connection.

As many of you know, I’ve fought through a lot in life — including living with Type 1 diabetes for most of my life and even losing my vision for several years. Art has always been the thing that helped me keep going, rebuild, and turn struggle into purpose.

Now I’m asking for your help.

✅ Please vote for me
✅ Share this post

Every single vote matters, and every share helps more than you know.
