“BEING” AN OMNIUM-GATHERUM OF ARTIST:
I SEE THAT THERE IS NOT MUCH ROOM FOR HYBRID PERSONALITIES WITH HYBRID ABILITIES.
LOCAL LUCRATIVE ARTISTRY IS VERY TIGHTLY PUSHED INTO A BOX.
TO ALL WORDS AND PEOPLE telling me that there is no room TO BE EVERYTHING,
feel EVERYTHING,
express everything
SHARE EVERYTHING,
COMBINE EVERYTHING, HERE, I SAY…
i’m making room.
I’VE BEEN EXPRESSIVE SINCE I WAS A YOUNG LIL’ THING. Photography was a hobby for myself up until stepping into the beauty industry working as a Permanent M.A.C. Artist. toward the end of that journey I began to feel that I wanted to tell more meaningful stories of the colorful images that were planted on all of our merchandise and walls for marketing; high-editorial/avant-garde imagery.
I had figured that perhaps stories could be told with me visually creating them and they didn’t need brilliant splashes of rouge or eye pigment and more importantly — shit we (especially women) just didn’t need.
From that point I decided to fully embark on visual storytelling–even if the stories are not always mine.
There was nothing else that I wanted nor want to do but lend a mic to a story lacking a little volume.
Starting my business–I had to be mindful to not pigeon-hole myself into one facet of visual artistry; photography.
So, I kept it broad enough for the demographic that I aspire to work with and for as well as interact with.
Still a writer and always–a reader, which has provided me with an adequate eye to conceptualizing images, videography, subjects, and of course… stories.
artist bio

Her concept derive from her life experience, identity, and tying her conceptual thought directly to her skill.
Painting between multi-layers of resin—she lay down a blend of surrealism portrait painting, cubism, neo-expressionism, and abstractionism.
Historically, her work embodied vibrant color, shape, and story.
Her current themes take on new elements of tribalization directly influenced by the Americas, Africa, and geopolitical Scandinavia and now plays with more minimalistic monochromatic shape and texture.
She currently moves toward more interactive displays when showcasing her works in attempts to create more connection between the cerebral concept of her art and onlookers.
