ARTIST STATEMENT 
My experience as a visual and performing artist started in childhood and has led to my work as an educator; developing and implementing visual and performing arts classes, workshops, exhibits, special event programs, talent shows, and performances. My background includes experience in acting, singing, directing, and managing for stage, film and video, as well as, creative writing, painting, drawing and installation art.

I create poems, plays, short stories, masks, paintings, drawings, graphic designs, theatrical scenery, props and more. My most recent work consists of 2D originals and prints, many styles and sizes of wedding ceremonial pieces that are used in the African American historical tradition called, "Jumping The Broom". I am also working on a 3D, “Earth Ling” series using various mediums (paint, wood, bamboo, raffia, natural objects-stones-cotton-bark-dried vegetation...) and a pro “green” landscape series entitled, “Earth Puzzle”: on broken pieces of wood.
