“My artwork blends archival Black photography with layered topographical and cosmic
cartography to create a dialogue between memory, place, and imagination. The imagery is both personal and universal: children riding bikes, hands reaching through ripples of time, crowds in celebration. These moments are re-anchored within vibrant contour maps that suggest landscapes, sound waves, and ancestral currents. This is achieved through mixed media. The translation of these works into public art ensures accessibility across multiple modes of viewing.”
Creative Director, Artist, and Visual Strategist with 10+ years of experience leading campaigns, art projects, and design systems across entertainment, education, cultural, and community sectors. My practice merges digital collage, fabrication, and experiential storytelling into works that explore memory, identity, and collective imagination. Exhibited at Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) and the CAN Foundation, my work bridges cultural heritage and contemporary design, engaging both local audiences and global institutions.
