Artist Statement

​

My artwork challenges the political and cultural issues within the African American community. I work to deconstruct the negative stereotypes of Black women that are thrown at us daily.I address the vulnerable fragments of our femininity that are often ignored. My work is meant to cause the viewer to stop and engage in conversations relating to social constructs within our society. I struggle with expressing my thoughts and experiences in other ways, therefore, I paint in exchange for freedom.
