Q&A
LP: How would you describe your art?
My art is a full spectrum of moods splashed across the page. Everything makes you feel something whether it’s laughter, longing or mindfulness.
LP: When did you start performing?
I started performing poetry in 2021 at a zine release event after publishing my first poem with a local zine.
LP: Who are your influences?
I am influenced by Los Angeles poets that I’ve seen perform in person, my many moods, and Shakespeare’s sonnets.
LP: If you were given $1,000 dollars for an art project, what would you do?
I would create a multi-media collage. I love blending images, sound and writings.
LP: What do you think the function of art is in the 21st century?
To express desires ranging from anything to love, justice or life’s lessons.
LP: Why did you sign up to perform at PorchFest 2025?
