I’m a US based artist working in visual and culinary mediums. As a youth I found a beautiful escape in the worlds of books and anime. Real-life concepts veiled in simple childlike disguises educated my eyes, guiding my practice today.

When I create, I consider the nuanced relationships of many concepts; such as racism, classism and sexism; between myself, my subject and the world at large. In most cases, that consideration reveals that all that glitters ain’t gold and if you peel back a surface layer or two, interconnecting “roots” begin to wink at you from the ether.

Growing up, I remember my grandmother instilling in me the importance of carrying myself a certain way to ensure that I would be perceived as nice and easy going when in mixed company. Foundational memories of the like, serve as a witnessing to the “value” associated with Black life… these sentiments are cemented in American news and media. I strive to create narratives and experiences that considers our reality in a nuanced manner.

My intent is to venerate the Black Body, paying homage to those who came before as well as those who live today. I hope to accomplish this by creating comprehensive experiences that individuals can emotionally engage with.

In April of 2022 I alongside my partner and muse Jantaé, launched our creative studio Someday in Detroit, Michigan. This endeavor will operate day-to-day as a visual/culinary art gallery. We’ve recently been inducted into Cohort 20 of the MotorCity Match award program, a grant that is supporting the development of our brick and mortar opening in 2023.
