Proof Reading  (Proofreading #1) was originally created to support the Nasty Women Phoenix exhibition staged shortly before the Trump inauguration in 2017 - with the mission to raise funds for Planned Parenthood.  From there, four further editions of this first piece were picked up by the Lisa Sette Gallery and subsequently included in her gallery exhibition titled "Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why, Tell Me Why (Why Can't We Live Together?)". Two additional Artist's Proofs were shown by Sette Gallery at Art Miami in December of 2017 and was sold out. In 2018, a second Nasty Women Phoenix show was organized, and Proofreading #2 was created. From there, Proofreading #3, 4, 5, and 6  were added throughout Trump's years in office. They are represented by Lisa Sette Gallery.

In these days of the “post-truth society”, when fact-checking goes unnoticed or unheard, reading the written and spoken word for the proof of truth will be a new survival mechanism it would be wise for us all to employ​.

Proofreading #1 was included in the 2017 Phoenix New Times Best of Phoenix as "Best White Flag".
Proofreading #2 was included in the 2018 Phoenix New Times Best of Phoenix as "Best Political Art".
