STATEMENT
I create emotional and expressional impressions of life. They are created in several mediums such as digital, pastels, watercolor, oil paint, and wood. Color, line, space, figure, and movement are important elements. Events (parties, sports, and family gathering), music, history, and other African American artists influence my work.
