ARTIST & CREATIVE EDUCATOR

“It's all about the story. Your story. My story. Our story!”

THE ART

EVERYTHING IS STORYTELLING

Langston Hughes said, “an artist must be free to choose what he does, but he must also never be afraid to do what he might choose.” My art is a direct response to the classical old master paintings hanging on the walls of art museums around the world. I study their compositions, application, and narratives, then I take that information and filter it through a BLACK lens. Whether with a paintbrush, photo camera, or pencil, I want my culture to be seen. More importantly, I want my culture to see themselves as worthy, beautiful, and enough.

Create + educate + inspire

CREATE

No matter the what, creation and execution is key. 

EDUCATE

Teaching and learning goes hand and hand. We should never stop teaching and never forget learning is a lifelong endeavor. 

INSPIRE

Our being here should make the places we live better, not only for us, but for those around us as well.
