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.

It’s an honor just to be nominated — but I’ll gladly accept the prize!

This week I received one of two Juror’s Prizes for my work exhibited at 2020 Vision! The winning assemblage sculpture, “They Don’t Really Feel Pain,” is available in my shop. I just picked it up last weekend from the annual members’ exhibit at the Center on Contemporary Art (CoCA Seattle). That was the last exhibit I saw in person before the coronavirus quarantine went into effect statewide.

And I haven’t seen juror Nichole DeMent, CoCA’s immediate past executive director, since March. (That’s about a year in quarantine time, I figure.)

My prize, a $100 Blick gift card, is now burning a hole in my virtual pocket! I could always use more ready-made frames, but I also want to splurge on art materials I don’t technically need right this moment. Any suggestions? Let me know on Facebook or Instagram.
