She is a multimedia artist, working with ink, acrylic paint, and clay. Much of her work is been driven by the increasingly fraught social landscape and the political circumstances which have created it.

He got tired of bumping around in the dark and the animals were tired of being so cold. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe decided he had to do something and went on a search to find help. He came upon a little house with an old man and his daughter. Inside the house, there were boxes upon boxes stacked from floor to ceiling. From one of those boxes buried deep, the Raven noticed a light peeking out. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe watched through the window for days until he witnessed the old man opening the box. The most beautiful brightest fiery orb was inside. He knew it wasn’t right to selfishly keep such a thing to yourself, especially when the rest of the world was suffering. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe thought and thought, and finally came up with a plan. He waited until the old man's daughter came to the river to gather water. Then the Raven changed himself into a single hemlock needle and dropped himself into the river, just as the girl was dipping her water-basket into the river. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs she drank from the basket, she swallowed the needle. It slipped and slithered down into her warm belly, where the Raven transformed himself again, this time into a tiny human. After sleeping and growing there for a very long time, at last the Raven emerged into the world once more, this time as a human infant. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven though he had a rather strange appearance, the Raven's grandfather loved him. But the old man threatened dire punishment if he ever touched the precious treasure box.
