Pittsburgh Artist Registry

When creating, my process starts off with researching as much as I can about a specific topic and recreate it in a way that’s not only aesthetically pleasing but also educational. In executing this process, my goal is not to just merely capture the image with a pencil or paint brush, but to breathe life once more into a topic.

Although my work explores black feminism, identity and self-acceptance among women in the African American community. My overall aim is to make incisive and poignant works of art that critiques all forms of sexism, discrimination and oppression. With every completed piece, I attempt to unveil a long forgotten time in African American history and culture. As with any recreated moments from the past, I am mindful of the challenge of not caricaturing the moment, but rather capture it in all its glory and its flaws.
