Comment: Ignoring sources that are affiliated with the artist, I don't think there are enough info to make an article about this artist. For example, this is just a gallery with no text.There are some small coverage by Patch(mostly quotes) and NYT, but nothing substantial. Ca talk to me! 02:13, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
