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.


The plan for 2022

[dusts off laptop] Hey! Didja miss me?

I missed you… but I had some serious thinking to do about my blog. Not everyone needs a weekly update, so I’m gonna do a few things differently in 2022.

A crowd gathers around a painted, paper mache giraffe made by artist Lisa Myers Bulmash for "Walk the Block," a fundraiser for Wa Na Wari art center.

  • You’ll still hear about the big art news: If you follow me on social media, you know I stayed busy with speaking engagements, commissions and media interviews, in the midst of making new work. I’ll keep updating you as things come up.

  • But not every week: I’m just going to post about said events and shows as they happen, or are scheduled. So you might hear from me on a Wednesday and a Friday, or maybe just on Tuesday. The best way to get details: sign up for newsletter posts on my home page.

  • When I work with friends and partners: During the first half of 2022, I get to collaborate on a public art project with old and new friends! I’m also leading collage art workshops at the Kirkland Arts Center, as well as North Seattle College in the spring.

First up is my “Collage, Off AND On the Wall” class. Ask me for details: I’m send them directly to your inbox in the next post. Looking forward to 2022 with you!
