Artist Statement:
Art is my second language.
With it I am able to
communicate my ideas,
emotions, dreams, experiences
and thoughts. Through art I
am able to share the worlds
that are in my heart, head and
soul.
My background is in clothing
and theatrical costume. I
have been a costume designer
for ten years. My acrylic
paintings, fabric art and my
greeting cards designs are
influenced by Africa, the
Caribbean, India, Latin
America, Asia and America in
the 1920's and 30's. A lot of
my inspiration comes from the
cloth and fabrics of West
Africa, Jamaica, Bali,
Indonesia and India. The
colors and patterns are bold
and uninhibited.
My personal goal is to through
my art create positive images
of people of color. I also
want to show the strength,
individuality, creativity,
beauty and diversity of women
in my art. ...
