Artist Statement:
I use intricate details to fill my pieces with many pathways through the imagination, it is quite therapeutic
following the tiny trails. My intent is to provide a metaphoric infinity symbol that the eye follows, always coming
around to something different. Empowerment and emotional well-being speak to the viewer from my paintings. I
wish to awaken strength and self-worth to well up inside the bellies of my brothers and sisters as they remember
their magic. As a black woman, I deal with colorism, a form of racism where those with lighter skin, and European
features are given preference over those with darker skin. My art explodes triumphant from these societal chains.
