I am a mixed media painter, creating works that center black people, especially black women. In my art, I engage conversations about cultural pride, daring to dream and the vastness of blackness, showing how we (as black people) are everything and everywhere.

I see art as a way to cope with life and reimagine reality, straying outside of the normal way of seeing things. This is one reason why I use bright and vibrant colors in my paintings, in addition to the fact that they reflect my own personality.

Inner listening is a big part of my process as an artist. I sit with each canvas and allow it to tell me what to paint and often feel for hidden messages to include in my work.
