About

My work is centered around the representation of the black diaspora focusing mainly on black women. My creative process is influenced by my background in animation allowing the visual aspects in each piece to draw upon the juxtaposition between restraint and exaggeration in physical characteristics, giving each piece a playful yet whimsical feel. My goal is to highlight and bring to the forefront the dialogue of self love and self acceptance amongst black women and how we are viewed in society. I use various mediums such as oils, acrylics, pen and ink, etc. to create women from all walks of life.  By doing this my goal is to give black women a sense relatability upon viewing the work and further push the narrative that it is ok to not agree with the beauty standards placed by society.
