The Artist: I am a Harlem-based visual artist whose practice across collage and installation bridges conceptual inquiry with intuitive art-making. My work emphasizes the connections between identity, time, and place while exploring the formation of selfhood. My experience as a professional journalist informs my approach to the stories and aesthetics found in my hand-cut mixed media collages. I have exhibited my artwork at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, and throughout New York at the Heath Gallery, Galerie Shibumi, and Jessica Ann Peavy Gallery. I am a two-time ArtCrawl Harlem Artist in Residence on Governors Island and a 2026 AnkhLave Arts Alliance Featured Artist Resident. You can find my published artwork in the WellSpring Literary Anthology. 

The Art: I create figurative mixed media collages to reflect the ways Black women and girls construct selfhood and community amid the cultural, political, and material conditions we experience. Working with archival and contemporary images and found materials, I explore the influences that shape our lives: the choices we make, the agency we claim, and the histories we hold.

In some works, the deliberate anonymity of a figure or the absence of specific features create a place that can hold multiple stories, contradictions, and possibilities. In other works, historic images are placed in modern-day environments. Through research and experimentation, I have conversations with the past to reflect change and continuity across time. Collectively, my work is an interplay of memory, refusal, and autonomy.
