“Art Hoe is what you called me. Was that supposed to hurt? Was it supposed to make me smirk? I would rather be an art hoe than have a hole in my soul like you Just put yourself in my shoes I just put my Happiness Over Everything How about you?”

Abstract

My work investigates the black figure and its representation in art history. I feel people of color are underrepresented in the art world. For decades, black artists haven't been presented in the same way their white counterparts have, especially black women. My paintings focus on the relationship between the black figure and constellations of felt experience.
