Recent Work

Peace and Blessings to all.

I realized it has been nearly a year since I posted a blog and my resolution is to get to posting once a week.   I just wanted to share a few images of what I have been working on.  As of now, I do not have a show in the next month, however it is necessary for me to keep evolving as an artist.

Take a peek below of what has been going on in the studio:

I have been pushing myself outside the boundary and playing with texture.  This is still in progress, however the goal was to create an antique painting of an Egyptian woman.  I distressed the gold leaf and was able to create an antique look.  I look forward to working with this technique more and on a larger scale.

This piece was created at a like event presented by a poetry group here in Chicago called Nommo Poets.  I love do live pieces; the opportunity to speak and engage people about art is something I live for and it is truly a part of my passion.

Entitled "Oshun: The Floodgates" is a tribute/interpretation of Yoruba deity Oshun.  I have always been fascinated with belief systems and how they manifest in humanity and our daily lives.  The Orishas are certainly powerful spirits and figures; their stories are legendary.  Oshun is the Orisha of African Sweet or fresh water.  She is the orisha of beauty, femininity, and fertility.

IN PROGRESS: I love intimacy.  The chemistry, the connection, the bond, the passion, the exchange.  Entitled "Kundalini: Together We Rise," illustrates the fruition of couples that have the knowledge of self and the meeting of selves.  They understand that the feminine and masculine energies as a unit will thrive even in the most tumultuous of times. 

"Aura" was created during my series called Sunday Session.  I literally create a piece from start to finish on a Sunday.  This is my time to connect with God; through art we are able to communicate completely, freely and with abundant love.  I honestly believe that these pieces create during these sessions are some of my best work.

PRINTS!!!!! Finally, I have decided to get my store up and running.  I was hesitant on how to tackle this operation, yet I am ready to sell the prints.  The site goes live on Sunday, April 18, 2015 and I am really looking forward to adding this to my studio.

Remember to follow your passion despite what the world says...God gave you that gift; only you can nourish it.

Peace to all.
