About the Artwork
Artist Bio
I am an African American interdisciplinary artist exploring the representation of Black communities in historical and cultural narratives. Drawing from folktales, biblical texts, poetry, and oral traditions, I reimagine familiar stories to create new visual dialogues. My work blends figuration and abstraction, often incorporating braided hair as a storytelling motif. Using mediums like collage, quilting, and weaving, I aim to honor diasporic narratives, amplify Black visibility, and invite all viewers to reflect on dominant histories
