Please come out and support my work. I’m excited to participate in this Exhibit and will be doing an Artist talk March 6th in remembrance and celebration of my late brother Keith Birthday.
A few pieces from my newest work will be on display. If you all recall, I started an urban art residency at the Legacy Building on 1105 MLK in Tacoma 2022 which has been a phenomenal experience. Two of my newest works will be available for viewing: Hues of Purple and Abstract Series 1 which is my contemporary salute to Malcom X.
I look forward to meeting you all in person and connect with other local Artist from the area. Big Shout Out!!! To the panel at the Tacoma Community College Gallery that selected me to participate in this show. I’m honored being an alumni 2007 graduate.
Studio Time Yesterday
It was soothing just to be in my Art studio for short while yesternite. I had time to clean up some of my brushes and work on specific sections of my piece called the Front View. The development is slow but steady.
Studio Time Yesterday
It was good to work on this piece for few hours. I really enjoyed the addition of color.
Front View Evolution
It was refreshing to spend a couple hours today in the development of the Front View. There is much details to be added and I have had a month to contemplate color scheme and other unique details. This piece will be mixed media and I look forward to share with you as the vision fully manifest.
Scarves and Hat Season
Hello Fall Weather,
It is most definitely that time of year where it’s windy, chilly, sunny, or rainy at any given moment. I have some beautiful handcrafted matching hats and scarves done by my lovely grandmother. If you would like to purchase a set for yourself or a friend purchases can be made via my online store on Facebook @ ND Art Studios LLC. Arrangements can also be made locally for pickup please send order request to ndartstudios@gmail.com and put “Scarves and Hat” in the subject line.

This past weekend was amazing. First I enjoyed a magnificent concert Friday night at the Moore Theatre with Soweto Gospel Choir. I’ve heard their previous albums and knew it was a must to hear them live and what a true blessing. I cried, I clapped, I sang, I listened, and my entire body was shaking with the positive vibration by way of South Africa released into the atmosphere. The drummers, the solos, eye contact, and the tribute they did to African Americans had me lit 🔥.
Next my family and I headed to matinee Sunday to see WAKANDA…..oh my my my…..again blown away with the beautiful explosion of culture, color, vibrations, and the great story line. The film was full of powerful messages. One is that we must be willing to sacrifice all to uplift and empower the next generation by all means. Create space for them to shine and watch them thrive. 🙏❤️
Black is beautiful indeed and my heart just overflowed with all the love and celebration of all that my people encompass 🙏

This piece was completed today another of my Collage Series. The messages are diverse when looked at in its entirety.
