I have always strived to illustrate a world I want to live in and create—an environment inspired by play and rest, with imaginative figures, bright hues, and bold lines. I work with many materials, including watercolors, acrylic markers, and colored pencils, sometimes combining digital and traditional processes. My works are characterized by bold colors, symbols, and moving lines to create expressive harmony and dynamic conversation. The layering of mediums and hues reflects the many emotions and facets of my imagination of Black representation.

 By reflecting stories of my changing mental state, I intentionally evoke layered emotional responses. As I grow in my practice, I see how my experiences shape and inspire me to push myself as an artist. At Howard University, I learned to combine my knowledge of Black art history with my visual storytelling skills. The artistic elements of my adolescence and higher education have deeply influenced and guided me. 

I draw inspiration from Black art history, the symbols and design elements of painter Lois Mailou Jones, the colors and compositions of David Driskell, and nostalgic childhood cartoons like Rugrats and Oswald. These influences contribute to my current experiments with color theory and process. Through my art, I invite viewers to join a larger conversation about rest, play, and resilience within Black communities. Hence, each person who encounters my work feels empowered to experience joy and ease.
