I am a multidisciplinary visual artist born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. As a product of the Great Migration, I am deeply inspired by the city's rich history, culture, and resilience. My work is rooted in storytelling, blending memory, history, and imagination to honor the people and the place that helped shape me. I am especially drawn to creating urban landscapes, portraitures, and figures to capture identity, and untold stories. Through layered imagery and mixed media, I create visual narratives that reflect community, identify, and the quiet beauty found in everyday life. My goal is to create a body of work that invites reflection, sparks imagination, and allows viewers to find personal meaning within each piece.
With brushstrokes & imagination!
