At the core of my practice is storytelling as preservation. It’s simple, I paint the things I want to remember. My paintings are a callback to my lived experience as a Black woman. I consider what an image can carry, how faithfully it reflects its subject, and the responsibility that comes with telling our own stories. My goal as an artist is to fully immerse the viewer in the world I am building, allowing them to enter not just a painted space but a felt reality shaped by truth, emotion, and connection. In my work, we laugh, we grieve, we rest, and we remember. It is both an archive and an offering. This is my deliberate act of keeping what matters close.
