Artist Statement

My work is about people. It is a visual narrative of stories told and untold of faces and figures who are often dismissed in the realm of fine art. The works feel familiar, yet distinctively different than “traditional works of art”. I create from my perspective, one of the people.  My paintings include universal themes, provide visual commentary to both past and current events, and captures cultural truths. I use charcoal and acrylic paint to visually narrate stories of people, preserving them for future generations.
