Illuminating Souls Through Art
As a Charlotte-based artist with a creative journey spanning over the past eight years, I am a proud graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, where I majored in Mass Media Communication & Africana Studies. My artistic endeavors are deeply rooted in my experiences, passions, and a profound desire to uplift individuals while promoting healthy lifestyles & the use of your gifts.
My creative odyssey began in Charlotte, a city that has not only nurtured my artistic growth but has also become an integral part of my identity as an artist. Over these transformative years, I have honed my craft, experimented with various mediums, and collaborated with fellow artists, all of which have contributed to shaping my unique artistic voice. Charlotte's vibrant cultural scene and diverse community have been instrumental in shaping my artistic perspective and fueling my dedication to creating art that resonates with a broad audience.
My academic pursuit UNCC provided me with a strong foundation in Communication & Africana Studies. This multidisciplinary background has influenced my art, allowing me to effectively communicate complex narratives and themes. By blending visual aesthetics with the power of storytelling, I aim to engage viewers on both intellectual and emotional levels, inviting them to contemplate the intricate connections between culture, identity, and society.
Central to my artistic mission is a profound passion for uplifting people. Through my creations, I strive to evoke emotions, inspire introspection, and encourage dialogue. Each brushstroke, color choice, and composition is thoughtfully crafted to convey messages of hope, resilience, and unity. My art becomes a conduit through which individuals can connect with shared human experiences, find solace in adversity, and celebrate the beauty of life.
