Artist statement

Bright colors, patterns and surreal settings are backdrops for snapshots of faces within the black diaspora. My paintings are created portraits influenced by afrofuturism with the intention to create monuments of faces from my community.

Connecting nature and the human experience together along with a contribution to beauty by mixing portraiture cartoons and surrealism is the experience I am attempting to capture with my artwork.

The cloud motif is used as a symbol of dreams and a celebration of black hair.

My goal is to make pieces that are relatable to the people in my community.
