My work investigates identity and memory, focusing on the overlooked excellence of Black culture and the ways history continues to shape the present. Through oil, charcoal, and mixed media, I build textured surfaces that echo resilience, conflict, and renewal. The figure becomes a site of reclamation, where cultural erasure is confronted and new narratives emerge.

After years of commission-based work, I redirected my practice toward personal research, developing methods that include experimental use of dried oil colors and layered surfaces. This process allows me to explore imperfection and the quiet decay of time, revealing how age and erosion can hold their own kind of beauty.

I constantly test shifts in form, tone, and composition to sharpen the emotional weight of my themes. My interest lies in healing and transformation, not as passive states, but as acts of defiance and reclamation. I aim to create work that challenges assumptions while offering both confrontation and refuge: a mirror of struggle and a reminder of strength.
