Artist’s Bio

I am a Black woman artist living In Oakland. I was born and raised in Ohio, went to Ohio State University and received a BA in Anthropology. After moving to the Bay Area, my desire to be an artist was rekindled. I then attended the Academy of Art University and received a BFA and MFA in Printmaking. I have participated in numerous national and international juried exhibitions and have been teaching studio and digital art at various California Community Colleges.

The focus of my art is about the impact of the African Diaspora and how Black women struggle to overcome oppression. I am telling our story by retrieving, reconstructing, and recombining elements from past artwork.
