“My current body of figurative and abstract work serves as a vehicle for accessing ancestral memories, and my dreams which yield growth, structure and forward movement. I apply African and Western methodologies to articulate my hybridized cultural identity through an intuitive process of visualization. I explore sensuality, spirituality, relaxation, and art history, tapping into my intellectual and emotional faculties to communicate my lived experiences. The artists that influenced this series are, Laetitia Ky, Mickalene Thomas, Akiko Jackson, Lynette Yiadom Boakye and Frida Kahlo.”
