Stafford Creek Corrections Center
“I am from Puyallup, WA. Currently I reside at Stafford Creek Corrections Center in Aberdeen, WA. My release date is set for 2033. I am a proud and devoted father to three beautiful children, aged 7, 10, and 12.
In addition to painting, I also engage in ceramics and pottery. Art holds a special place in my heart because it allows me to express my ever changing moods. When I immerse myself into my art, it feels like I transcend the confines of my surroundings. I identify as pansexual, and I strive to incorporate elements that represent the LGBTQ+ community into a lot of my artwork (ie: rainbow colors)
When I am creating, I completely lose myself in the process. I have my music playing, and I am in the zone. I get so deeply entrenched that I sometimes forget where I am. I say, embrace your creativity and have fun with your art. There are no rules, the only limits are the ones you impose on yourself.”
