This body of work explores memory, identity, and cultural lineage through oil paint on reclaimed wood. Each panel carries history in its grain—a foundation for richly pigmented compositions honoring Black presence, resilience, and emotional truth.
Through bold color and symbolic figures, I create space for reflection, dialogue, and recognition. My work is not only meant to be viewed, but experienced.
