“My work explores the beauty and complexity of the human journey, with a focused lens on the African American experience. Each piece reflects identity, resilience, and cultural memory drawn from both personal history and collective stories.

Inspired by my lifelong love of music and the cultural legacy of New Orleans, I create paintings that form a visual dialogue between past and present. My goal is to create work that invites reflection, emotional connection, and a deeper understanding of the stories that shape us.”
