Artist Statement:
My approach to most of the
work I create is a cross
between socio-psychology
experiment and storytelling.
Either way it is basic human
interaction. All artwork has a
story to tell. Everyone has a
story to tell no matter what
race, creed or color. It is
becomes basic communication.
As an artist and a musician, I
am inspired by people and
circumstances. The figures I
paint have inspired me through
there simple nature and yet
they have something to say. I
paint women to broadcast to
the world their passionate and
sensual nature. Men who are
stoic become pliable through
dance. Children become little
people in small bodies. Black
people learn to laugh at
themselves through things like
their hair issues or faux skin
color issues. I like to use
primary colors like blues and
reds to convey the vibrance of
everyday life and what it
means to celebrate life.
In my ideal world through my
storytelling within my
artwork, our prejudices and
insecurities become unfounded
by a belief in self, a respect
for self and a love for self.
In my ideal world, if you can
accomplish that then you can
believe, respect and love
others.
