I’m a Chicagoland artist who aims to capture humanity’s expansive inner struggles through my lens of Queer Black Womanhood. I use fractured images of the human form to illustrate loss, overwhelm, and expansion in the subject’s emotional world. Guided by the belief that expression leads to understanding, and understanding leads to fulfilled hope, I work to create vibrant depictions that inspire vicarious comfort within the viewer.
