Peaceworks was born in 2006, here in prison. It began as a hobby and gradually turned into such a huge part of my soul that now I can recognize art for not only beauty but expression of self, a resistance, and freedom. Art serves. And my “Calamity”… she represents all incarcerated women who are alive but mostly dead — away from kids and loved ones. She survives to one day thrive.
