Artist Statement

I am a Black Visual Artist, born and raised in Detroit MI. Art has always been a big part of my life. Art carried me through life and will always. Portrait art is my main focus. I use different shades of Cool Greys and Warm Tones using Prismacolor markers in my artwork to portray what I think is Beautiful and Unique in style. Color has also been a big thing to me I would add just a little pop of color to bring some of my portraits to life. I’ve come a long way and I will continue to challenge myself, learn, and continue to achieve “Black Girl Magic” .
