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.

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.

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

Today was productive and contemplative as this piece from my Collage series came together. It already has a home so won’t be on the market for sale.

The Front View Progression

Exhale….yesterday, I finally had a moment to stop at the Art studio after nearly a month. I added some more details and have some colors schemes in mind. I like the rawness of the gray and black acrylic paints; however, I intend to bring some vibrant colors into this beautiful narrative piece as well. I really enjoy the journey this project has taken me on and look forward to the full idea manifest.

Yesterday, I had brief moment to paint. The Front View is my current piece at work. I studied the photos last taken of the piece over a two to three week period. It was a release to get the ideas from my mind.

I look forward to add the minor details, colors, and other components that will complete this beautiful narrative piece.

Reflection: Covid 19, BLM, and Blue Lives

Introspection Exhibition 2020 @ 253 Collective

In the Introspection Collection you can see my abstract version of covid virus attacking heathy cells, there are red hearts in solidarity with Black Lives Matter, and blue hearts in solidarity with our Police Force, there is a pulse throughout each piece in the colors of Black Cultural Pride and our resilience. -Red, Black, and Green-

The Introspection Collection is a series created during the Covid 19 lock down Phase 1. I was in the home with my two babies and made use of recycled wood, paper mache technique, and acrylic paint for the entire series which took a few months to complete.

Meeting in the Ladies Room and No Labels are not apart of the Introspection Collection.

Recap of my thoughts during the lock down.
