I create art to carry memory forward and honor what endures, create moments of recognition & make space for stories that are often unseen.

I’m drawn to abstract patterns and repeats—the structure and flow across a surface. That language extends into 3D and motion, where forms gain depth and movement. Through AR, I bring still images to life, creating interactive experiences where pattern, space, and time meet.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in confronting systems that diminish and erase. As an African-American woman, my work is spiritually driven and rooted in lived experience through resistance and survival. Through pattern, motion, and AR, I create work that resists invisibility, carries memory forward, and asserts presence in spaces not built for it.
