Artist Statement

I am a multi-disciplinary collage artist, and my work is an exploration of identity, memory, and the complex layers that shape my experiences. Through collage, I merge various mediums—paper, fabric, photography, paint, and resin—to create dynamic, textured pieces that invite the viewer to engage with both the visual and tactile elements of my work. By layering these materials, I reflect the fragmented nature of personal and collective histories, particularly within the African diaspora. My creative process is deeply influenced by my own experiences as a Black woman and my cultural heritage. I draw inspiration from African diasporic art, literature, music, and everyday objects, often repurposing discarded materials to give them new life and meaning. Each piece becomes a way to reclaim history, reimagine narratives, and celebrate resilience and transformation.
