“Driven by my fascination with human development, I use various mediums to document and explore my journey of self-discovery as a Black woman, an artist and an advocate. By using imagery of female anatomy, my artwork is an ode to the strength, beauty and life found within us all. I would want anyone who enjoys my art to see how the same forms we see in ourselves are also all around us in nature. I hope they can see how we are all interconnected in more ways than we can imagine.”
