Statement

My artwork reflects my African heritage and connection to my culture. Each of my paintings is a significant vision sent from my ancestors expressing themselves through me. While I may create like images at times, each piece has its own unique meaning & story and is known for its reflective exploration of history, strong unique combinations of imagery, verse, and symbolism. My art is an infusion of Africa’s past, present, and future.
