"Since childhood, art to me has always been a profound creative outlet, and the theme I love portraying the most: The sophisticated beauty of women, indiscriminate of their race or ethnicity. This comes in consideration of the fact that the fashion and beauty industries are notoriously narrow-minded towards their idea of “beauty”, and as such I believe that the theme of my work is a powerful statement in the feminine struggle to universalize beauty. Over the years however, I felt that I still needed more soul behind my “voice” in art, and with some more personal reflection, remembered the sources of my inspiration outside of fashion and beauty: prolific mythological or historical female figures--or in essence, women of divine and/or time-honored status. With that in mind, I then found a stronger, more powerful focus in my art: To celebrate women of all ethnicities by creating them as fictional characters in the symbolic likeness of their respective cultural/historical figures, with an emphasis on fashion and beauty elements associated with the subject figure.

My pursuit in expressing the beauty of historical/mythical figures are. in a somewhat contradictory but obligatory sense, strongest when it comes to depicting African figures.

This is especially done so in opposition to the age-old dilemma: the severe lack of visual /written representation and historical/cultural documentation of said figures. Consequently, it brings me nothing but joy to breathe life into my figures with a thoughtful perception of said figure, as my work would not only function as a tool of knowledge to encourage others to learn and study African mythology and culture, but serve as an inspiration and point of reference for my fellow artists."

"Art for me has always been a way to deal with both traumatic events and situations in my life as well as happy and positive ones.

The direction that my art has taken over the past few years has evolved so much. Art began as an escape away from pain thru sketches and drawings. Art keeps me grounded and is a way to let go of pain and work through it. Over the past two years my art has evolved, and I started to paint, I wanted to change my narrative, I wanted to become more uplifting and positive for myself and began to paint ideas of where I wanted myself to be mentally and physically. My art began to take on a life of it's own and I became inspired by life and it's beauty. At times when life was far from beautiful, I painted about feelings and thoughts that inspired me to be in a healthier mental state and to stay there. I am excited to see where this artistic journey takes me and continue to learn and evolve each day. "
