Portfolio
A body of figurative paintings exploring presence, power, and the inner world of Black womanhood, rendered in oil on canvas with meticulous attention to light, fabric, and stillness.
Oil Paintings
Sawdust Relief Works
Mixed media relief sculptures combining sawdust, bronze patina finish, and textured panel: a departure from canvas into sculptural form.
On the Work
Each canvas begins with the same question: what does it feel like to be seen, fully, without apology? The answer arrives slowly: in the way light catches a collar, in the set of a jaw, in the particular stillness of hands at rest.
Artist Statement
I paint the unseen weight women carry: the regal stillness, the soft defiance, the quiet power that lives beneath the surface.
