Inspired by my city’s vibrant scene, its architectural marvels and luminaries Annie Lee and Dr Margaret Burroughs, my artist journey is deeply rooted in creative legacy and integrity. From a young age I understood that everything is art.  Nurtured by my family, it was my mothers’ abstract paintings and craftwork, my father's lifelike sketches, and my brother's vibrant graffiti art that collectively contributed to my artistic identity and provided me with a deep well of inspiration from which to draw.

What began for me as abstract notebook doodles evolved into intricate line designs of landscapes and portraits. Rooted in my love for geometry and drafting, I’ve developed a distinct style that emphasizes symmetrical balance, composition and form.

In my work, acrylic and oil are my primary mediums.  I use a colored background to radiate the overarching theme of the piece, while facial expression and pose offer another clue in the narrative, capturing the conflict and emotional nuance beneath the surface. In contrast, the bold black lines against the varied shades of brown creates a mechanical, mosaic-like portrayal of the human form, highlighting the intricate interplay between technology and biology. These elements collectively add depth to the portrayal of strength, endurance and beauty.

I find solace and inspiration in creating art during the wee hours of night while listening to a mix of jazz and soul music in my basement studio. After completing a piece, I hang it on my wall to observe it through various emotional lenses, to ensure the painting reflects, inspires and resonates energetically.

My artistic aspiration is to create meaningful connections with my audience. Through my art, I strive to evoke emotions, provoke thought, and foster a deeper understanding of the human experience.
