Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. Currently living and working in New York City
As an artist I spend many hours working on a painting never sure if it would ever be accepted or understood. I am not able to compare my work to other artists,or any other artist movements.
This being said, I often feel as if my work has yet to be defined. I may be wrong, and I am not trying to say that my work is groundbreaking. As an artist my work is not a result of collaboration. There is no immediate feedback. With every painting I am sharing the deepest and the most intimate parts of myself. A person who always questions . The awards and recognition gives me a sense of validation.
My thought has always been that my work is not about me.
It is bigger than me.
Education: Orange Coast College, Costa Mesa, California School of Visual Arts, NY
