ARTIST STATEMENT
Through a fusion of watercolor, oil, and acrylic techniques layered with textile motifs, collage, and digital transparencies, I construct images that are metaphors for inheritance and repair; showing the ways in which cultural memory is passed, unraveled, and rewoven across generations.
Each composition becomes a form of embodied storytelling — a reclamation of space and voice. Through color, light, and layered materials, I seek to transform displacement into a kind of belonging, and vulnerability into power.

Too Big For New York (2026)
Original Linocut Print
Hand-pulled linocut on archival premium paperPerched above the endless geometry of the city, Too Big for NY captures the tension between ambition and exhaustion, intimacy and isolation. A solitary figure stands at the edge of the skyline, coat caught in the wind like a flag of survival, while below the city stretches endlessly outward: dense, relentless, electric. Beside her, a quiet white cat watches in silence, grounding the scene with a strange tenderness, as if guarding a private moment the city was never meant to witness.
This piece reflects the emotional architecture of New York itself: the hunger to become larger than fear, larger than limitation, yet still searching for a place soft enough to land. The title speaks not to physical scale, but to emotional magnitude. To outgrow the pressure. To realize your inner life no longer fits neatly inside the machinery of speed, expectation, and noise.
Hand-carved and printed through the traditional linocut process, the work embraces dramatic contrast, intricate mark-making, and the raw physicality of carved line. Every cut carries movement and tension, transforming rooftops, clouds, and shadows into rhythmic textures that echo both the pulse of the city and the interior landscape of the figure herself.
Printed on archival premium paper, this original work balances noir-like atmosphere with poetic stillness, making it a striking centerpiece for collectors drawn to contemporary printmaking, urban narratives, and emotionally charged visual storytelling. 🌒🐈⬛

Snail & Butterfly (2026)
Original Linocut Print
12 in × 16 in
Hand-pulled linocut on archival premium paperA quiet collision between gravity and flight. Snail & Butterfly explores two radically different tempos of existence sharing the same fragile world. The butterfly rises like a fleeting thought, luminous and untouchable, while the snail moves with ancient patience, carrying its entire home across the earth grain by grain. Together, they become a meditation on transformation, endurance, and the strange beauty of moving through life at your own rhythm.
Carved by hand and printed through the tactile traditions of relief printmaking, this original linocut embraces the expressive imperfections of the medium: rich blacks, textured cuts, and sharp contrasts that give the piece a cinematic intensity. The layered patterns and architectural shadows create a dreamlike tension between nature and structure, softness and survival.
Printed on archival premium paper, this work is both delicate and bold, designed to hold its presence in contemporary interiors, studios, libraries, or intimate personal collections.
Each print carries the unmistakable texture and physicality of handmade printmaking, where every carved line records the artist’s gesture like a visual heartbeat. 🦋🐌

Oracle Rooster
Read more The Rooster Oracle (2025) is an homage to the rooster as a mythic herald straddling day and night, tradition and transformation. Against the skyline of New York City, the creature’s iridescent feathers shimmer with Caribbean heat—emerald, copper, and indigo—while its gaze fixes toward a rising moon. In Caribbean and Latin American folklore, the rooster is both guardian and messenger, crowing at thresholds between worlds. Here, it becomes an emblem of diasporic rhythm and survival: an ancestral clock reminding urban life of its rural pulse. The hybrid body—part bird, part scaled creature—symbolizes the layered identities of migration, faith, and cultural inheritance.

Kind Fox
Read more Kind Fox (2025) presents the fox as a long symbol of cunning and adaptability—as an enlightened creature of empathy. Bathed in luminous gradients of coral and teal, the animal seems to glow from within, merging tropical light with a sense of inner stillness. In Caribbean folklore, fox-like figures often represent clever survival and quiet rebellion, traits mirrored here in the animal’s poised, almost meditative stance. The word “Kind” becomes a double meaning: both gentle and kin. In caribbean culture, the fox is rendered not as trickster or predator, but as kin—a being capable of feeling, reflecting, and coexisting. In its luminous silence, Kind Fox becomes an allegory for evolution through compassion, asking whether intelligence without empathy can ever be truly human.

Afro-Carbbean Art is Trending
Contemporary Afro-latin and Afro Caribbean styles are now in demand more than ever. People really enjoy having their portrait come to life in vibrant, dynamic, and flavorful ways! The style of portraiture I have found that is most fascinating and of organic interest is Caribbean, surreal-themed digital art. It's focused on composition and shapes but mostly emphasizing the vibrant colors and nature motifs in the culture of the Caribbean archipelago to create a dynamic and culturally rich visual experience.
A dear friend served as model; she is surrounded by an aura of serenity, yet very wild beauty. Our connection is transcending the mere physical realm. The colors here are forming a kaleidoscope of hues that symbolize our spiritual bond. In the midst of this ethereal garden, specific flowers hold significant symbolism. Velvety petals symbolize passion and love, intermingled with lilies representing purity and devotion. Each flower, chosen and intricately placed, contributes to the narrative of this divine connection.
