Artist Statement
My art celebrates the indomitable spirit of Black Femme Women through vibrant portraits on canvas, digital illustrations, and afro-surrealist imagery.
I delve into the multifaceted nature of Blackness - its relationship to culture and race, as well as the materiality and cosmic essence of Black pigment.
In my latest series, "Loud Minds," I strive to reveal the rich, complex, and layered inner truth of Black femmes. As a neurodivergent Black woman myself, I draw from my personal experience to capture the turbulent beauty of our diverse mentalities. Through interviews and portraits of fellow Black, neurodivergent women, I explore the intersections of Blackness, femininity, and neurodiversity, celebrating the resilience, joys, and mind maps that emerge from these complex intersections.
My passion for being an artist stems from my deep commitment to representation and uplifting marginalized communities. Through my work,
I hope to bring joy and visibility to those who have been historically overlooked and undervalued.
