I am a mixed media artist creating paintings, sculptures and installations that continue my dedication to humanitarian issues. Exhibit highlights include LACMA, California African American Museum, Los Angeles Art Show, and USC Fisher Museum of Art. Recent awards include the Barbara Deming Foundation, Puffin Foundation, Mozaik Philanthropy, and Vibrant Cities. In 2021, “Sanctuary” installation honoring refugees incorporated sculpture and painting. I went on to “Bearing Witness” paintings of refugees that were shown widely. In 2023, I created 12 life-size “Witness” sculptures that were installed outdoors at Tarfest. In 2025, my show “Improper Ideology” merged painting, sculpture, and poetry into immersive experiences that explore social tensions with an uplifting intent. Currently I’m constructing “Rise.” From images of destruction figures will ascend, inspiring our strength to rise.
