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.


My first solo show!

BIG news, everyone: I'm going to have a SOLO SHOW of my art work!
Arts of the Terrace 2012
You remember the Arts of the Terrace group show from September? I had a great time at the reception, and giving away a print of "We See" to one of my fans. The merit prize I won was icing on the cake.
I also got a chance to talk to one of the arts commissioners, Judy Ryan, who's also a mixed media artist. (I love how the racehorse almost leaps off the canvas in her piece below.)
Judy was very encouraging -- she offered me the opportunity to show my work for a month in the Mountlake Terrace library! So look at the wall below:
Now replace those pieces with my art work. squeals with delight and a wee bit of terror

My exhibit will be during the month of May 2013. If you've recently had a solo show -- or even if solo shows are old hat to you -- I'd love to hear about your experiences on my Facebook page. Let's talk!
