Summary

As an emerging self taught artist, I am dedicated to deepening the experiences and narratives, of Black woman through my art. My art is a platform for storytelling and empowerment. Beyond focusing on Black woman, I use a range of mediums to search for themes that fuel my creativity which include love, spirituality, and the human condition. Whether through exhibitions, workshops, or public displays, I strive to create spaces that invite reflection, connection, and transformation. I am dedicated to making a meaningful impact in the art world and beyond. I hope that, with schooling, I can create art that supports my living and allows me to create stories, characters, and even moments.
