I am an abstract visual artist raised and residing on Detroit’s Westside, creating as a means of ancestral wayfinding through the cultures that make me whole. As both a community resource-builder and working artist, I use my artwork as a platform for broader activism around truth, clarity, freedom, and liberation. I believe that feeling at home where we are, and having spaces to grow, play, live, shout, sing, create, do nothing, and gain familiarity with the unknown, are all birthrights. 

Often described as resembling pathways, streets, organics, and the solar system, my works are micro-maps of experience and emotion – a nonverbal dialogue of how I came to be. I leverage the universal mediums of abstraction, movement, color-making, and energetic balancing to achieve broad appeal while redefining how cultural work is expressed and recognized. Growing up, paintbrushes and half-finished paint tins were a staple in my mother’s DIY household. Saturdays at Grandma’s house on Detroit’s Westside were spent gluing rhinestones onto homemade jewelry, and manifesting high-fashion out of Jo’Ann’s fabric scraps. Developing my art practice from these latent roots of creativity has been critical to my own self discovery, and I feel a deep sense of purpose in sharing this process with others. 

The full spectrum of my practice includes paintings, murals, garments, home goods, and digital works, all created with the objective of ensuring that as many people as possible find relevance, access, and belonging in my work. Through my design practice, FluidSpaces, I operate a marketplace for equitable local art sales tied to small businesses that serve as satellite galleries, which expands showing opportunities for emerging artists. These community-serving aspects of my work are just as critical as the visual impact of my own practice — each step of my creative process is an embrace of intuition as I work to impart the foundational elements of self-trust and empathy upon others in service of a better world.
