This piece is part of a series tracing a spiritual journey through grief and joy, reclamation and resurrection. My palette is alive — dominated by ROYGBIV intensity and layered with palette-knife textures that mirror emotional and energetic transformation.

I am a Southern Artist, ethnographer, poet, and educator rooted in Atlanta. working in a ROYGBIV palette with palette knives, creating textured, neon-toned works that explore memory, embodiment, and survival. My practice is rooted in resilience: every stroke is both testimony and transformation. My work lives at the intersection of memory, body, and belonging, shaped by a fierce commitment to justice, access, and collective care. I do not speak for the communities I serve; I create work that honors and amplifies their voices — especially those impacted by displacement, generational injustice, and ongoing urban transformation.
