I'm a Cleveland-based painter, illustrator, and writer. I speak terrible franglais (french/english mix) and I paint what pops in my soul and demands to come to life.
My work focuses primarily on black culture and what it means to exist in black bodies, with emphasis on black women and girls. I'm particularly interested in illuminating the ordinary because there is something both achingly beautiful and immensely political, dare I say revolutionary, about the ability to exist and move about the world safely and confidently in ordinary ways. We aren't all there yet and I aim to participate in our progress through every bit of my work.
I have a BA in psychology and an MA in art therapy counseling. I am primarily a self-taught artist. As I girl, I desperately wanted be Chaka Khan and Debbie Allen. If you understand leopard print, you understand me. And... I spent my formative years in a house filled with navy blue carpet and blue and golden yellow room accessories. The couch was light blue crushed velvet. We had a slide top stereo and it played 8 tracks. There was also a white crushed velvet arm chair. This should explain everything.
