The Sounds of These Paintings Warms Me 

 

          My artwork is a reflection of the people I see. As a close observer of my surroundings, I take notice to the human experiences and interactions happening around me. Through referencing my friends, family, and community members, I create oil on canvas figurative paintings focusing on the daily lives of individuals. Acting as a storyteller of my environment, my paintings are captured special moments of the lives of the people around me. Taking hold of your senses, along with the visual experience of the vibrant oil paint, you can almost hear the sounds of the imagery being portrayed; the laughter shared between family, the melody of the violin, of the soft plucking of the guitar.

           

          I paint my subjects in fields of color with minimal to no elements of the background; bringing focus to the people. The person often extends the edge of the canvas, representing a compositional choice to a parallel a boisterous element to the person; going beyond the surface they are painting in.

           

          Serving as a continuation of those who have come before me, my art is a representation of Black figuration. Free of any political attributes, my art is about the daily lives of people with shared experiences and emotions. It is a vibrant celebration of life and expressing freely!
