Before sunrise on Oct. 11, my life was forced to a standstill when my mom called me in a panic to tell me that my little brother, 19-year-old Demitri Crockett, had been shot and killed by a still-unidentified assailant the evening before.
The last thing that I said before he (went home) was, “If you get scared, just walk up the hill and knock on my door and I’ll protect you.”
We had a blast installing these public art pieces in this city I so love! I was honored to be chosen by the city to help raise awareness to the importance of keeping our precious waters clean for sustaining all our diverse lifeforms great and small!
I discussed my first year as a full-time artist and my love of animals. The magazine suggested we shoot the photos somewhere that inspired me and I was immediately reminded of photos my mother had taken of me when I was 11 wearing a ball gown, posing in the barnyard with our goats and chickens. Heidi Elzas, a talented photographer and dear friend of mine, decided to recreate it with help from a few of my feathered and furry friends.
