Lemon for Your Tea
(in-progress series)
My artwork is a pure colorful gaze and emotional response to moments within humanity. As a close observer of my surroundings, I take notice of the human experiences and interactions happening around me. Acting as a storyteller of my environment, I reference friends, family, and community members to create oil on canvas paintings that merge the realms of realism and expressionism.
Resisting political attributes or marginalization due to identity, my art focuses on the individual and the emotional elements of each captured moment. My paintings are intimate yet powerful, often inviting the viewer into a quiet moment of reflection. I approach my subjects with dignity and care, while honoring the lived experiences of Black individuals and communities.
By use of the snapshot, I capture reference images of moments that allude to joy and strength. I am captivated by happy moments where I see others in peace, thriving, and enjoyment. In a world that can be overwhelmed by inconsistencies, violent actions, and intrusive thoughts, I focus my art on the moments of contentment; bringing peace to myself and those who experience my art.
Believing in the transformative power of oil paint, my paintings are not just documents of moments, but reflect on the beautiful complex nature of the human experience. These relatable figures allow the viewers to draw out personal experiences and memories. By combining the figure with expressionistic elements through brush strokes and color, I am expressing my response to the vulnerable, yet beautiful, complexity of humanity. Through creating paintings of human experiences I encounter throughout my day, I am recording today’s moments for tomorrow’s histories. What were we doing today? What did we wear during this time? My paintings are a collection of colorful histories, reflecting on our connection to one another. Everything is everything and we are not all so different.
