How did showing in the exhibition impact your career as an artist?
“Receiving the Meyer Family Award for Contemporary Art gave me the opportunity to show my complete body of artworks for the first time in an exhibition. Showing my artwork afforded me a moment in time to reflect on my work as a living artist and impacted my career by advancing and building value as an artist leading to other exhibitions in galleries and museums worldwide since receiving the exhibition award.”
