Curriculum Vitae

Self-taught collage artist, storyteller and writer who appreciates all things Black, Southern, and imaginative.

Statement

I am an admirer of revelations and evocative thoughts. My work is inspired by my upbringing and ancestral stories passed down to me by the adults in my life. My visual art centers and celebrates Blackness from the fields of rural America to the stars in the night sky. My performance invites you to ponder the significance of lived experiences and my writing gives you a glimpse of my innermost thoughts.
