I’m going to be honest. I’m really creative.

I was raised as an academic and baptized in the way of the scientific method. There were many creative outlets I participated in as a kid but they were just fun things to do on the side. Things like music and art were extracurriculars and hobbies to make me a well-rounded applicant but they were never a priority.

These days I am attending to my need to innovate, imagine, and express. I thrive on the ability to freely explore and do what I am inspired to do. Sometimes that’s writing. Sometimes it’s singing and sometimes building, doodling, gardening, or painting.

I allow myself to realize that these are important and worthy pursuits. In addition to my blog about race, education, and mental health; I am also using this website to share my visual art.

Expression and vulnerability can be so hard. Sometimes it’s anxiety inducing. This is especially true when you aren’t well practiced in the naming and claiming of experiences across the emotional spectrum.

Acrylic paint helps me illustrate the collaboration and struggle between thought and emotion. I use color gradients, bold disruptive shapes, and cryptic doodles to help tell the story of the many ideas and sentiments I can often find so difficult to express with plain language.

I especially enjoy translating the ethereal through the improvised creation of my own cipher and sigils to further illustrate the work of communicating the abstract. My approach to painting is intuitive. I discover what message is trying to get out and how it wants to be expressed in that moment.
