Bio:
I am a creative, proactive and transformative textile and performing artist possessing the innovative ability to formulate fabrics and seams into wonderful stories. My visionary process evokes and informs viewers by exploring tangible and verbal artforms. The art quilts, abstracts and panels are constructed of music notes, adinkra symbols, feathers, beads, prints, patterns, denim and 2D. Researching and studying the journey about my ancestors play an important role in designing, displaying and promoting artwork. The primary purpose of sewing seams and applying a story is design to engage, empower and educate viewers of my creations about the history and struggle of African-Americans. As a textile and performing artist, I am honored to teach and share the journey of enslaved Africans in america through art.
