About the artist:
A renowned multicultural - multi-dimensional artist working in Acrylic, pastel, and mixed media, residing in Riverside, CA. A working artist since the early 1980's there is no other life for I to desire as this gift of art completes me. As the past owner and curator of several California galleries fostering the careers of other artists alongside my own work - my lifelong love of Art is undeniable.
Watching my younger brother sketch and draw from an early age inspired me to do the same. Some formal training but primarily self-directed.
I have always been on a ubiquitous journey to hone my artistic skills through workshops with master artists and other acclaimed visual creators using a myriad of materials and methods but relying on my own freeform expressions to create pieces uninhibited and unbound by structured discipline.
Currently, In my art practice, my stylized figurative works imbue everyday life with joy, experiences, and relationships often encompassing abstracted female figures of professionalism and sisterhood while celebrating the uniqueness of the female form.
My florals dance with color, mood, and vibrancies, again creating a connection to you the viewer through spiritual and intimate composition while bursting with color.
Through my abstracts, I strive to connect with the viewer mentally and emotionally communicating and sharing my expression of life as I see it through color, shape, and form.
My art is a conversation and destination between you and I and as my creation resonates with you, the viewer our journey is complete.
Published in numerous magazines, included in several coffee table books alongside other influential artist of color, the recipient of awards, and commissioned on a national level by well-known organizations, corporations, celebrities, and academic institutions such as Morehouse School of Medicine, works on prominent television shows, solo, and group museum exhibitions, juried and curated into numerous shows including Art Week Miami/Art Basel, invited on numerous Art Panel discussions has all given validity to the longevity of my creations in the art world.
