The photographs and objects selected for my compositions represent ideas and concepts that usually relate to some aspect
of the African American experience. Because the history of black people in America is broad, my work is in series. Often
times several compositions will revolve around a central theme. I use mixed-media collage/ assemblage to create a visual
narrative. A social commentary on the conditions and experiences of African Americans as interpreted through my own visual
reality .
