There is so much strength in creativity. There is so much strength in this life we live. In love, in grief, in femininity and in masculinity. I’ve proven myself strong over and over again this year. Every time I thought I wouldn’t make it, I put it into my art. It is custom to dedicate your shows to people who saw you put blood sweat and tears into them. This show is for Parker-who brought me a glass of milk many times. Who always is protective and loving. Who often reminds me of my own human strength. Corinna-my heart. My love. You see me at my lowest lows and you always manage to support me. You are beauty and grace. And Matisse- words cannot ever describe what it feels like to find your soul mate. I have found mine in you. You are the person who holds me up when I feel like I cannot. I also want to thank everyone who came out tonight and showed me support, love, and fondness. I can’t believe I had my first art show and I cannot believe it went so well. I’m forever humbled and forever touched by this evening. Thank you.
