VCU Painting and Printmaking stands in solidarity against the growing wave of fascism that is painfully reemerging in the USA.

This week has put some perspective into my studio practice and reminded me why I make the type of work I do. I look forward to using my agency as a maker, as an activist and as a student in a MFA program to expand my voice and the voice of others. I will always fight for a safer and more inclusive spaces that resists racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and all other isms that foster hate and death.

VCU Painting and Printmaking will try to foster inclusion and safety for all who shares our space.
