I am a multidisciplinary analog collage artist based in Brooklyn. My practice centers on storytelling, stories told and untold. Stories filtered through a deeply rooted historical and cultural perspective shaped by both the African diaspora and my Black American, Southern roots. My work speaks through the strength, memory, and presence of those who came before me, exploring identity and the layered experiences that shape both personal and collective histories, particularly within the African diaspora and the South.

Through collage, I merge paper-based materials, photographic imagery, textiles, paint, and resin into richly textured compositions. These layered forms mirror the complexity of our narratives, fragmented yet interconnected, where each material carries its own history and voice, echoing the traditions of storytelling passed down through Southern Black families and communities. My process is intuitive and intentional, allowing each piece to unfold as a dialogue between past and present.
