"Our goal is to bring exposure to Project Resiliency through artistry."

Said Allen: "Music, art and photography have been passions of mine since I was a boy and now I am bringing these artistic expressions to life with paint and canvas. My life has been a journey of transformation and my art is a reflection of the many facets of dreams and perceptions that have shaped me to be the person I am today. Each piece has a story and a connection to my life from my roots in England, my life-changing car accident, journey to America, travels around the globe and to my deep connection to Wounded Warriors and their struggle to heal.

"The collection of the Legend series, Union Jacks, angels, hearts and flags express messages of hope, transcendence and the human condition. The colorful pop art renditions of Victorian phone booths in London are created as metaphors of human communication and our need for soulful connection."
