what is inspires your art?

My art is inspired by the desire to leave evidence of an experience that has touched my heart and transformed my life. This could be my experience of new knowledge, a person, food, nature or even myself. As I live, I learn; my art is my way of sharing and documenting my adventure on earth.

What kind of stories do you tell?

I lean towards stories of nature, afrocentricism, feminism and beauty.
