Building community, visibility, and opportunity for Black artists across Washtenaw County
I aspire for the audience to be captivated, feel joy, and be educated of the beauty, brilliance, culture, traditions, history, present, and future of the Black American experience. Many pieces I make through digital collage converge Black inventions of the past and bring them into the present. The galaxy, Universe, celestial theme of infinity represents how our greatness is boundless. While my digital drawings tend to represent, celebrate, and embrace Black beauty and fashion.
Artist Bio
"I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was." - Muhammad Ali
I always strongly believed my mission and purpose is to create and to be named "Greatness" is a huge responsibility I am willing to take. I have an Master of Science and Bachelor of Science degrees. As a designer with 19 years of experience and creative extraordinaire/artist for a lifetime, I dedicate my life's work to celebrating the greatness of Blackness. After all, we come from ancestors of greatness; we must live to honor them.
Artistic Practice
All pieces created, whether digital collage, fashion/beauty illustration, digital art, and/or (sometimes) graphic design must celebrate Black beauty, culture, contributions, history, present, and overall joy of the Black American experience. Every collage and digital piece is worked until intuitively, I know it is complete. Time does not matter nor dictate my complete creative process, my internal compass does.
