I embrace the term "abstract expressionism" to describe my work. It feeds my soul with its experimentation of colors and textures, as well as the use of new materials and techniques.

Much of my art is the visual equivalent of blues, jazz, gospel or the African beat, rich in color and symbolism. Bright colors, bold designs, asymmetry, varying patterns, improvisations, collage, and symbolic forms characterize my work.
 
I want to evoke a response from the viewer; therefore words are sometimes a part of my paintings. I want the viewer to see what I see, and feel what I feel. I may have a subject in mind, or at other times I have nothing in mind and let the painting speak to me. My work is very intuitive and inspiration is derived from God's gift, family, cultural experiences and social commentary.
 
We have an obligation to be "culture bearers", and as I move forward I hope to do just that, and to continually grow as a person and as an artist.
