Artist Statement

My work fits into two very different and unrelated categorie: impressionism,afrocentric art(centered on Africa or on African-derived symbols and cultures),and abstract. Each style allows me to challenge different parts of my personality. It is sometimes a relief to shift from the tight discipline of realistic drawing to this type of work, but it can be equally relieving to go from these open-ended paintings to getting lost in the details of a drawing.
