I am visual artist influenced by the marginalized narratives of the communities he is a part of. As New York native born from a mother of southern roots and a father of Jamaican descent, I am informed by history and the multifaceted spirit of the African diaspora. Using the history of drawing and painting as an anchor, my work chronicles the rich stories framed within the context of my subject’s daily lives.
Often sourcing from old family photos, personally taken photos, audio recordings, oral and documented histories, as well as collected objects, my work provides an intimate look into the individual people who have shaped his community’s cultures and traditions. In this spirit of his extensive visual documentation, I live my life as an artist, archivist, historian, and storyteller. At the core, my work strives to reveal the richness of African American life.
