Welcome to my studio, a vibrant space where my passion for installation, sculpture, and performance comes alive. I’m a nationally recognized multi-media visual artist dedicated to exploring and expanding a unique visual language of abstract, hieroglyphic-like symbols—a journey sparked during my enriching residencies, including a fully-funded stay at Ox-Bow. In my studio, you’ll find a thoughtful blend of functional and non-functional art furniture, each piece telling its own story of creativity and cultural exploration.

I’m deeply committed to supporting and promoting the art of the African Diaspora through my lectures, writing, curations, and seminars. I invite you to visit, explore the collection, and perhaps, join me in pushing the boundaries of this evolving artistic language into new and exciting media. Let’s collaborate and create something extraordinary together.
