Dear Reader,

Hello. I’m a Midwest-based, mid-twenties aged artist. Here I document my life through art. I’ve been painting since pre-K. Artmaking became a place of reflection and growth. It became a kind of sanctuary for exploration and thought; I have never met myself more deeply than in front of a canvas. Artmaking is my personal journey of finding these finished pieces.

As an Afro-Indigenous American, I connect to my roots through artmaking often reflecting on passed relatives and my spirituality. I think about those who came before me and those who will come after. My art could, should, and would likely outlive me; in that case, this is my intentional footprint, my archive, and my commentary.

The paintings are often compared to abstract expressionism, and I can agree to that idea; they are unplanned and I do emphasize color and movement to translate inner thoughts and feelings I find myself engaging with in the moment.

It’s an experience for sure and I’m thankful I operate this way, to be an artist. Thank you for reading and looking my art. I don’t hope you enjoy it, rather, I hope my art makes you think. I hope you get lost in the swirls so deeply you find yourself and find yourself more loved and loving on the other end as I do after every piece.
