I am an abstract artist from and currently practicing in Maryland. My work is concerned with the black female experience and the emotional and spiritual practices of coping, release and endurance in response to the political, cultural, societal pressures placed upon women of color. Repetition, layering, and pattern become a visual language through which experience is processed and transformed. Influenced by Black abstractionists of the Washington Color School, including Alma Thomas and Sam Gilliam, I engage color, rhythm, and surface as sites of both discipline and expression. A recurring pink mark, resembling a slowly decaying petal, carries shifting meanings of beauty, fragility, desire, promise, tenderness, an ongoing list. Through repetition, the petal becomes both symbol and gesture, enacting a gradual and continual release.

My work resists resolution, instead embracing accumulation and subtle transformation of ones personhood. Layers remain visible, patterns overlap, and forms stay in flux, reflecting a sustained practice of submission rather than a fixed outcome. This approach allows the work to hold time, memory, and emotion simultaneously, where nothing is erased but continually reworked. Within this evolving surface, abstraction becomes a devotional space, one that honors process, persistence, and the quiet act of returning what is carried back to God.
