I'm striving to make art that creates a response and evokes a challenge. My figurative paintings attempt to push scenarios through subject matter that is sometimes uncomfortable. The act of painting for me is about cultural healing, showcasing and beauty.
Because I am a story teller and history painter, there is a strong need to produce paintings that reflect my passion. This will always be the case because it is what moves me. Like in the film “Sankofa” it is imperative that I continue to pursue my purpose because the ancestors need to know that I am continuing this mission.
