I am a lover of people, especially children, and of life! My style of art is expressed from the core of who I am- I create to give a voice to both local and global situational awareness and its four levels, but within the context to see cultures, atmospheres, and communities hopeful, healed, and restored to their full potentials- I believe to restore someone and or something you must get into their skin, get on the inside to manifest the worth and value hidden within- so in saying this, my art comes from getting on the inside, listening from within and patiently, but persistently, pushing through so that the expression of its underlying hope emerges with promise, purpose, identity, and destiny onto the canvas.
I am largely a self-taught artist, having begun my artistic journey in childhood and entered the professional world of art in 2015. My preferred medium is acrylics, although I occasionally mix mediums. My work is mainly expressed through abstract expressionist pieces with a hint of a childlike spirit. I won't settle until each piece of artwork finds its inner voice. My pursuit is to bring about an awakening through my art and its message- I paint with a desire that each piece holds its own weight in gold. My art is defined by certain techniques of integrating figurative work within layers of under-painting and much dry brushing. My style and breadth of artwork are interpreted by this continual technique, causing the spectrum of imagery to differ with each piece. My goal in each piece is to hide yet simultaneously unveil its emerging sound. I enjoy painting with earth tones, but love painting with a vibrant color palette in subtle to semi-bold textures to bring my art to life; this is my dance on the canvas. My artwork invokes patience for study and to see beyond the obvious, a story to breathe healing and momentum into lives and cultures.
