“InsideOut: An Affirming Epiphany” is a project of SOS ART in collaboration with Jay DeFazio. I am both a Participating Self Portrait Artist and a Participating Poet. The Project was a unique opportunity for transgender or non-binary individuals to express how they see themselves by creating a self-portrait. The self-portraits were then paired wih poets, who wrote accompanying poems. In looking back at my self-portrait, I realize now that my self-portrait did not portray how I actually saw myself at the time, but rather how I wish that I saw myself.

The Exhibit is well worth a road trip to Hamilton.
