I am a visual artist working in collage, assemblage sculpture and altered books. My practice explores identity, memory and the history of the African diaspora. Vintage and contemporary images collide to convey how the past informs the present.


A usable image

Finally achieved a usable paintover image of my mother's face. It's the bottom one on the photo strip. Now I can move on to aspects I'm not as particular about on this piece.
I really need more regular practice painting. If you have other obligation (kids, husband, thesis, job, whatever), how often do you make time per week for your art? I really want to hear what you do.

Inspiration is a double-edged sword

Lemme tell you a little yarn...
