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.


Serious play: teaching art classes

So... it's really gonna happen. In a couple of months, I'll start teaching classes! This week, I've been working on creating class samples:

The above collage is on an 8" x 8" wood panel, using specialty paper from ARTSpot and an wash of acrylic paint over one of my favorite images. The David Hockney quote is created using the paint-resist technique I'll be teaching in April. More info to come as soon as I have a link for you to click. (P.S. If you're on my newsletter mailing list, you'll get the details first! Go to the sidebar on the right to sign up.)

FYI, each class will be very small -- about six people, so I can give my students more individualized attention. So when I say "go," register on the ARTSpot site and save your space ASAP. Got it?
