FIGURATIVE CONTEMPORARY PAINTINGS

Everyday Black Series

The Everyday Black paintings were created to show African Americans in everyday situations in a true light. By retelling history, bringing back phenomenal people and places that have been forgotten, misplaced or unknown, I shed light on the black culture in a positive, uplifting manner. These new works use bold colors, African symbols (Adinkra) and artistic markings to explore the culture from the everyday living point of view, how we grow up, places we visit and things we do and life’s interactions.
