I love making art because it’s healing & fun! Art is medicine for the soul. I am creating a new language made of color called Language X!

I love making meaningful, conceptual & colorful abstract art! I love art that unifies & uplifts! I invented a new & original language made of color called Language X. It has a color coded alphabet & can be spoken, read & written. I enjoy making art in Language X in all art forms. I love painting but I also make mixed media, graphic design, stained glass, pottery, jewelry, clothing & more. Language X is an easy to learn universal language made to spread love, peace & joy throughout humanity!
Where do you find inspiration?My greatest inspiration is my mother Renita. I started painting abstract art for stress relief when she was diagnosed with cancer. During her last week alive she was unable to speak & that experience inspired the creation of the language of color. My children inspire me to create a better future for humanity. Leaders of peaceful communication such as Jesus, Buddha, Ghandi & MLK also inspire me. The legendary artists Davinci, Kandinsky, Picasso, Rothko & Basquiat inspire my original art style.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25K I’d pay several months of rent, bills & utilities for my art studio I’d purchase art supplies & begin creating my newest art collection: “A new world of color” I’d explore new art forms such as music, short film, neon lights, sculpture & more I’d begin creating a language learning & messaging app that would simplify & make the learning experience easy & fun I’d start a non-profit called Language X University where people can learn the language of color and make art for free!
