From the artist:
“My newest series of artwork is entitled, Pieces of You, featuring a series of mixed media portraits. I am fascinated or have a personal connection with the subjects in these portraits be it musicians, family members, celebrities, and friends (real and imaginary). I deconstruct and reconstruct these portraits with layers of paper, paint, and charcoal. Within my work, I search for the physically express the emotional elements of each person I paints; layer by layer, piece by piece.

I work as an artist and live by the strong belief that art is a vehicle to connect people.  I create these portraits as a way to connect not only myself to those I paint, but to connect the viewer/audience with the world around them. I have an artist studio, where I continue to create artwork in the historic neighborhood of Anacostia in Washington, DC”
