ABOUT ME

I am a mixed-media artist and attorney currently living in Chicago, Illinois. I was born and raised in Ferguson, Missouri. I have been around art my entire life. My dad is an artist and was an art teacher for over 30 years. I absorbed art on a daily basis and was always poking around my dad’s art studio. My dad would paint, collage, and build; I would study all of his work. He introduced me to artists like Romare Bearden, Kerry James Marshall, and Faith Ringgold. I am also heavily influenced by my mother. She helped me develop my eye and love for patterns, fashion, and plants. She would take me thrifting and showed me that color was nothing to be afraid of. My brother, who is also an artist, has helped me elevate my digital art and love for curating art.

In 2021, I launched Pothos & Patterns, which is dedicated to nurturing the artist in everyone. I aspire to curate a unique artistic experience.

My long-term goal is to build an art center with an art gallery, event space, and collaborative studio spaces.
