I have the innate ability to use my creativity to produce intricate and expressive abstract traditional and digital paintings and collages. I have the drive and passion to portray my romantic traits in my long term committed relationships with men in personal settings. In my professional settings, I have exhibited my natural born leadership skills. Each of these are portrayed through the color symbolism in my abstract digital painting. 


Red represents passion and devotion. Shades of gold and orange represent creativity. Blue represents innovative thinking. While,purple represents spirituality.

Unity in Motion

    “Unity in Motion emphasizes the importance of inclusivity and collaboration within the arts community, promoting a sense of togetherness. During my time at various art institutions, I encountered instances of racism and discrimination. These experiences were disheartening and highlighted the challenges faced within the visual art and dance community. Additionally, I faced issues with timely payment from several organizations, which further complicated my professional engagements. Despite my commitment to providing high-quality services, there were instances where payments were delayed or not received at all and raised concerns about the professionalism of the organizations involved.

Blank Canvas

This quote may seem dramatic, but it can also be wise. Not all great works of art need to have a deep meaning, but the ones that do stand out." Growing up in Washington, DC, I developed a passion for art early on, shaping my artistic journey from a young age. Attending NationHouse and other art institutions between the ages of 7 and 16, I immersed myself in creativity and African-centered education.
