About The Artist
Artist Statement
Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana and St. Thomas, VI.
I am celebrating the life force and indwelling spirit within each of us, and the joy of living and being one with the Universe.
My evolution from a figurative, expressionist painter to a mixed-media collage artist unfolded over 35 years. I have exhibited in over 85 solo, juried, and group exhibitions. A native of Washington, DC, my appreciation for art began as a child thanks to my dad who made gallery and museum visits a part of our Sunday activities.
I am paying homage to humanity, family, memory, history, and spirit. I enjoy the free-flowing, abstractness of collaging; and finding the pulse of a concept, and going with the flow. Working from an Afrocentric framework, my art is colorful, infused with textures, patterns, rhythm, and repetition. Compositions are constructed of magazine cutouts, ready-made materials, paint, photographs, fabric, oil pastels, and altered pictures from my earlier works that are repurposed/recycled. I am producing a body of work that is authentic and where each piece is part of a greater whole. Art has peacefully transformed my life and keeps me in touch with the kid inside of me.
