Artist Statement

I am a multidisciplinary artist, primarily making photographs, written works, and fiber-based weavings to create and explore opportunities where contrasting or diverging subjects can exist or interplay. My written works are majority prose based. My photography often utilizes, or is otherwise inspired by, double or multiple exposure techniques and my weavings are often made of non-traditional fibers, such as synthetic Black hair and adornments.

My work as an artist and my formal training as an electrical engineer diverge. I consistently live in and create in a “grey” area nestled between what should be black or white, right-brained or left-brained, or cut and dry. In this between-space, I converge and contort notions about the Black experience, Black womanhood, legacy, space, and time to translate them into visual and written works. I aim to create pieces and exhibit work that deliver a simultaneous contrast of emotions and imbue a sense that we can be more than what’s simplistic and easy to understand or ignore.

Let’s Work Together

Photography is a reflection of life and how we live, a medium that can shift our internal and external perspectives. It is documentation of our lived experiences.

I want to capture your moments of incomprehensible joy and love on your wedding day, your family in its state of chaotic bliss, or your strength and resilience after overcoming an obstacle that seemed impossible to you. I want to instantly transport you to a place you've never seen or one you've seen a thousand times. I want to help you understand more about yourself and the people around you.

I want to tell your story.
