About The Artist
Artist Statement
As an artist, I work at developing art that speaks to both others and myself. Carnival: Celebrations of the African Diaspora is about joy and celebration. As part of my process before I begin to create my works of art, I researched many images from Mardi Gras in New Orleans to Carnival in Rio. I incorporated the images that appealed to me in my works. The women and the beauty of their bodies moving to the rhythm of the music captivated me. My work of the Samba Lady expresses her movement represents uncomposed freedom. She is a queen that walks in the light of the new and old. My Mask represents the beauty and mystery of Carnival. The beauty of people and mystery that lies behind them. When I am asked about my interpretation of the Celebrations of the African Diaspora this is what I see and feel.
