Adversity, resilience and transpormation; my mixed media paintings are visual narratives on the fragility of human connections.  Many of my artworks are inspired by the African Diaspora and an appreciation for black culture. Through my paintings I communicate what I believe is the essence of humanity.

Adding distressed texture illustrates disquieting subject matter symbolic of physical and emotional pain. Black and white letters imply conversations.

Elements of race, gender and relationships are portrayed as fragmented and sometimes disparate with recognizable eyes staring back at the viewer.   The current social climate where we are acutely aware of, and often tormented by others, begs us to consider the vast and unknowable potentials of our futures.  

I studied art at the State University of New Paltz, with a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education.  Raised in Hartsdale, New York, I llive in Richmond, Virginia.
