Statement

My art reflects a surreal black experience. As black artists, we often face continuous societal expectations to make work that is deep. Art is therapeutic for me. Therefore, I choose to simply make art, to express my unique imagination. What you’re seeing is a series of ideas that struck me while I was painting. Sometimes those ideas are permanent, others I may paint over a few seconds after.
