Artist Statement

Fashion is my first love and has always been a conduit for artistic and self-expression. My formula as it pertains to my art is not structured at all. If you ask me to explain my techniques I would struggle to find the words to convey my creative process, it is innate. I am clear however on my intent, to impart warmth to the heart, a smile on the lips , and perhaps a provoking thought to be considered.

I have been told that I am a maximalist because of my usage of bold patterns and bright colors but I like to think that I use them in an understated way. I challenge traditional constraints and love to bend, blend and blur the lines in the process. I am committed to changing the narrative and taking up as much artistic space as possible.

I see myself as a young at heart, gifted black woman who paints with paper.
