About me:

My work comes from all of my being— from growing up in a justice-focused mixed-race family that celebrated Black art as jazz reverberated through our home. To being autistic, often finding it difficult to express how I experience the world. We all absorb the world and life around and within us, and these pieces capture my experience of those converging worlds, influenced by my upbringing. 

​

Within these creations, I reject ideas of destruction and, instead, infused with my emotional experiences, present a radical act of masculine creation and a celebration of Black art. Each piece is created within Black music's vibrant and soulful sound— be it Soul, R&B, Jazz, Funk, or Hip-Hop. It is a celebration of life, all while we live in a time where the very idea of diversity, my existence, is being targeted, and masculinity is embraced when it’s in its most destructive forms. I repudiate those notions and ideas through this work, embracing their inversion. 

​

In a weighty, abstract expressionist style, using mostly acrylics and exploring oils with bold and intense colors, you will experience deep emotional and human resonance. As much as they are my creations and all that comes from within me, what they are changes with each observer. Explore each shape, color, shade, movement, and layer, reach deep within yourself, and see what reaches out to and from you.
