My journey from Kansas City to Dallas County has been filled with various experiences and unexpected twists. Growing up, like many children, I was often told that art was just a hobby, not a viable career path, and that I should have a backup plan. As a result, I pursued different professions, often feeling unfulfilled.
However, in 2014, I faced a turning point when I was laid off. Returning to my roots in cosmetology reignited my passion for painting. To my surprise, my skills had not faded; instead, they had grown stronger. I found myself drawn to acrylic painting for its practicality and versatility.
My art is characterized by vibrancy, texture, and a dedication to representation. Through my paintings, I seek to capture the essence of black women - their strength, resilience, and cultural heritage. Using a variety of brushes and palette knives, I aim to create depth and detail, infusing each piece with a sense of empowerment and relatability.
As life progresses, my creativity continues to evolve, mirroring my personal experiences. It is incredibly fulfilling to witness how my art resonates with those who encounter it, particularly black women who find relatability in my representations.
Ultimately, my art is more than just a form of expression; it is a platform for cultural celebration, empowerment, and connection. I am committed to ensuring that every brushstroke contributes to a narrative of authenticity and inclusivity, where every black woman feels seen and celebrated.
Thank you for allowing me to share my journey and passion with you.
