Artist Statement
When I was younger, art became more than a project, it became my voice, my creative expression and the source to project my inner world into reality. Art has given me the opportunity and the freedom to reframe my own narrative on healing and what it is to be a Black queer woman.
I create moments in time that’s reflective of nature and spirituality while creating figurative images that provoke emotion and depth. My technique is truly intuitive as I allow my brush and/ or tool to be the beacon of my subconscious. To create and allow the rhythmic notions of colors, textures and nature to be the reminiscent of my story.
Today, my work reflect queer spaces as well as emotional depths of self-healing to create crafted projects with care. I continue to use reference of personal, vulnerable self realizations to create connections about one’s self-worth and self-awareness through the lens of creative expression . I’ve used my art on my own personal platforms to open the doorways to talk about mental health, hardships and the essence of self through paintings, digital art, sculpture and performance.
I I want my art to serve as a reminder of one’s journey of self-worth and perseverance. As well as a continued illustration to the universe that our own lives, our own forms of art is the best masterpiece of all.
