I am a visual artist and licensed social worker from The Bronx, New York. My abstract paintings, still-life photographs and mixed-media drawings express personal thoughts on the Black experience, grief, empowerment, love, nature and spirituality. I draw inspiration from my history, environment, intersectional existence, memories, dreams and vernacular culture.
Part of my visual art practice involves emphasizing light and studying the connection between context and aesthetics, not only in my work, but in the work of artists who influence me. I am inspired by bold color palettes, deliberate composition, movement and harmony.
My present artistic goals include participating in residencies, fellowships, exhibiting my artwork, working with archival material and engaging in conversations about various healing practices. I am open to collaborating with other artists and building connections.
