Artist Statement
My work is a meeting place between two worlds: the Arkansas Delta, where I was born and raised, and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where I now live and create. The sounds of Blues music and the African-American experience of my childhood continue to echo through my practice, while the vivid colors and symbols of Mexico infuse my work with new rhythms and light.

I paint primarily with acrylics on canvas, wood, and paper, often layering collage and textures to create depth and resonance. My palette leans toward vibrant oranges, yellows, turquoise, blues, pinks, and magentas—colors that carry both memory and emotion, much like a Blues song or a Mexican festival.
I want the viewer to be drawn in to the work through the impact of color, and reflect on the interplay of symbols within cultures.
