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.

I'll have the scrambled artist brain, please

This is how my brain operates right now: all the thoughts at the same time! The house/ the yard/ the art/ the grocery shopping...

My brain is too scrambled. I plan on taking a break from the chaos at Juan Alonso Studio this weekend...

... where my (completed!) artwork will be on display during Second Saturday open studios. We're adding another artist to the mix: Anna Mastronardi Novak brings small encaustic work for a pop-up show.

And studio time is coming this weekend! I think! I hope...
