My collection currently represents an eclectic variety of artwork (originals and prints) that I have created over the past couple of years. Many of the pieces stem from a 3-show trilogy that focused on themes central to that of the black butterfly. I drew inspiration from metaphors surrounding transformation, catharsis, cocooning as a means for healing, new beginnings, experiencing difficult change, and resilience building. My inspiration also comes from black historical figures, musicians, change-makers and artists as a means of bringing attention to the black experience, black creative expression and legacy themes. Some of the artwork is themed around divine feminine energy, floral and fauna, and metaphysical change and was inspired by growing pains, experiencing the joy of nature, poignant song lyrics and the intersection of femininity and the black diaspora. In 2019, I had the opportunity to create pieces that celebrated the divine feminine & all of the splendor that is woman. I've been intentional about exploring new media, smaller art pieces, and tapping into the therapeutic process of experimenting with new materials.
