In my work, I'm always seeking to communicate historical and significant themes of Africans and African Americans that can be transformed into extraordinary images of designed. As an artist, I have embarked upon a quest to research and learned about the African Americans histories. Throughout my years of schooling, I've learned that much of the African Americans history taught, it was either skimmed over, or many facts were left out entirely in the American culture. Therefore, I feel that it is up to me to find out about the historic facts of my people and present it to my audiences. Everything that I’ve learned through my own investigations influences my artwork and provides me with a great amount of pride in developing my images on canvas. It is my inspiration, that these creative visuals encouraged the general audiences to conduct their own research into the rich cultures of African American history.
