As a visual artist, my work explores the intersections of culture, identity, and emotional truth. I create paintings and mixed-media works that weave together storytelling, symbolism, and memory—reflecting both personal history and collective experience. My process is deeply intuitive, often beginning with color and gesture to capture what words cannot. Layers of paint, collage, and texture become visual metaphors for the complexity of being seen, heard, and healed.

I am inspired by the resilience found within Black and Brown communities and the ways creativity becomes a form of survival, self-definition, and liberation. Through portraiture and abstract compositions, I aim to honor these narratives and invite viewers into moments of reflection and connection. My art is rooted in transformation—each piece a dialogue between pain and possibility, chaos and clarity, self and spirit.

While my work carries therapeutic intention, it stands first as a visual language of expression. I paint to tell stories that challenge, affirm, and awaken. Ultimately, my practice is an act of restoration—of self, of community, and of imagination—reminding us that beauty can rise even from the weight of history.
