My work has always centered around the figure in regards to identity, social justice, healing, expression and being centered. My creative choices are usually clay or pencil drawings. Each medium lends itself to expression be it defiance, pain, pride or innocence. What is important is that each piece lends itself to exploring the human condition as an African American; unabashedly Black.

I love the medium of clay because of its tactile nature and seductive qualities. There is something about the medium that invites you to study it. My graphite drawings have been described as well drafted. I choose to see them as bottled emotion hidden behind a facade of stoicism. We often wear masks to bely the emotions beneath.
