Born in St. Louis, MO
Raised partially in Clinton, NC & Tulsa, OK
Graduated from the University of Oklahoma, BA Journalism
From there I relocated to the gentrified yet culturally rich area of Washington, DC & I go back and forth from DC to OK. Breaks from city living are much needed.
I draw inspiration from everything: Nature, everyday interactions, emotions, things perceived to be unseen. Pulling all these influences together, I allow the vision of a piece to direct me on a journey of visual exploration. A majority of my works are on wood, combining various mediums of paint & materials from aerosol, latex acrylic, water based acrylic, oil to vinyl records to create.
My pieces often provoke thought of community, humanity, spirituality and connections of present and past. They often use bright colors that contrast with each other; allowing you to interpret and see many perspectives within one. Someone once said to me, you really have to think about your work. Simple, but for me, that's genuinely the point. Thought.
I love people and sometimes get caught up in the day based on my curiosity for the human spirit; your understandings compared to mine. Sitting in the forest, riding my bike, being close to anything my creator created sparks my creativity.
