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.

This weekend I'm taking a short break from art, but not for long and not just to chill out. I'm joining several friends to show solidarity with the Women's March on Washington. Watch my Instagram account: I'll be posting images from the march, especially of the more artistic signs and protesters.

Next week: two February art exhibits. I recently got word both my artworks were accepted into the "Like Mother" show at ArtXchange Gallery in Pioneer Square! 

I've also been invited to show work at a pop-up art gallery in downtown Seattle. You might remember my work a couple of years ago at Alki Arts' celebration of Black History Month.

This year, my dear friend (and one-woman cheering squad) Diane Venti is hosting the show at Pacific Place. More details on the shows soon... meanwhile, I'm going to rest up for tomorrow. If you're marching anywhere in the world, tag me on Instagram so I can see what you see!
