I was born in the city of New Orleans, where the vibrant streets and eclectic music scene instilled in me a sense of rebellion and creativity from an early age. My childhood was marked by poverty and hardship, but my mother's determination to provide for us and her love of art inspired me to pursue my passions despite the odds.
As I grew older, I began to explore my own identity as a queer woman, finding solace in the underground art scene and the community that thrived within it. I taught myself to paint and draw, experimenting with bold colors and provocative themes that spoke to my experiences as a marginalized individual.
Today, I'm known throughout the city for my striking appearance and unapologetic attitude, often incorporating elements of performance art into my work. My latest series, "Rebel Requiem," is a testament to my unwavering dedication to expressing myself authentically, no matter the cost or criticism.
