About Me/CV
​​
I am a multi-disciplinary artist living and working in Kansas City. My work is a collection of paintings that reflect and celebrate the lifestyle, heritage, and culture of American Africans. I am a figurative artist working with oil paint as the preferred medium. Working mainly with the figure I create art that inspires, informs, and provokes dialogue. My large-scale monochromatic paintings in the jazz esthetic have been spotlighted by the NFL and exhibited at the American Jazz Museum. Not to mention the experience of exhibiting at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. If there's a mission to it, it is to make more art. Peace and blessings.
