Growing up, most of my creativity was focused on singing and performing, which I still do today. It wouldn't be until my early twenties that I would get my first paying art job as a sketch artist in my hometown of Springfield, Massachusetts. I was hired by a local channel, where I worked as a courtroom sketch artist for the nightly news. Sounds exciting huh! Although a well paying job, the monotony and depressed ambiance of the courtroom soon wore down my interest. I vowed that I would only become a professional artist if I could be totally unique. It would be nearly twenty years before I would discover the creative uniqueness that would set me apart from every other artist.

     My introduction to the world of professional art began in Los Angeles, California in 1999, at the African American Art & Film Festival in Los Angeles California, as a mixed-media sculptor of three-dimensional ceramic faces mounted in frames. The images are males, females, and some combinations of humans and animals. They are hand-sculpted and painted in blended shades of browns, reds and yellows, to resemble real skin. They are representative of African kings and queens and pay special homage to my ancestors.

     Each creation is signed and numbered as a limited edition of 500. My intent is to create an image to represent each and every one of my ancestors who endured the atrocities of slavery. I am thankful for the priviledge and the ability to communicate with their spirits and pray that through my work I give them the respect they so deserve. As and artist I believe that we creators of nothing. We simply recycle what already exists in the universe.

THROUGH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE....JUST BELIEVE!
