Artist Statement:

I’m a multi-media fine artist whose work fosters a celebration of African American history and culture. A Jersey girl all my life, I’ve been an artist since age 4. I attended Newark Arts High School as a fine arts major & took further art instruction at Rutgers University in Newark. After a long hiatus raising my children, I returned to my easels with fervor. My work has been publicly shown in NJ, CT, MA, NC & CA.
