tell the stories of people – primarily people from the African Diaspora, their challenges, their joys and their every day experiences. With every piece of work, I was able to expand my creative message to tell a story of hope, of empowerment and to allow the viewer to understand the culture of those that have achieved success through faith and determination. For the young faces that I draw, the viewer is invited to see the future of those that will make decisions and lay the foundation for a better tomorrow. The pictures of the elders reminds us of the wisdom and courage that has been embraced to make the accomplishments today real. The stippling technique allows me to connect the past to the present and allows the viewer to envision the future. Every day I give thanks for the gift that the universe has given me to share with the world knowing that creativity and innovation are the key to one’s growth and development.
