Most Recent Works

I have always loved to draw and later learned how to paint under my own discipline. My passion is painting short stories onto canvas which embrace motherhood, natural beauty, relationships, African-American culture, unity and spirituality for everyone to enjoy. I mostly use acrylics and sometimes inks, oils, or pastels. Visit the Shop page to see all my current work available.
