Black Psychedelic Becoming

I paint a way through generational recovery. I experience the canvas as a place to articulate the cosmology of my people - past, present, and future -through my lens as a queer, disabled, neurodiverse person. I’ve kept this practice protected for most of my life. Sharing it publicly now is part of starting over with a nervous system recovering from oppression in real time. In this way, my work captures what reclaiming belonging looks like for marginalized people and how recovery feels for an individual connected to something ancestral and vast.

Black people have made starting over a sacred art, and this body of work is that inheritance in color and abstract form: diaspora, cosmology, and recovery told through acrylic, watercolor, collage, and linocut.

These paintings are part of my personal collection. Sales are negotiated on a very limited basis. Inquire by email.
