My work is not built for a casual glance. I want you to look twice, to take it in and truly see, the lines, translucency and shadows.
Made You Look… twice

Inspired By…
I have always been a fan of Richard Serra. I a inspired by the thoughtfulness and austerity of his, “Four Rounds: Equal Weight, Unequal Measure” which is newly installed at the Glenstone Museum, Potomac MD.

Inspired by…
… biomorphic surrealism from Gregory Ojakpe
Neon Pink & Bottle Cap Pearls
I still need to seal the paint on this neon pink cart.
I love how the color pops against my Bottle Cap Pearls…
Do You See It?
The weaving on the left is a work in progress. The photo on the right is the view from my tree house in St. Croix.
Camouflage Pink
One hundred feet of rope, impeccably wrapped, woven, tied and embellished with beaded garland, ribbon, and silk flower bobbles lure you into a hue-imbued, installation symbolizing natural hair. This bold whimsical sculpture gingerly invites the audience into off the-wall conversations about implicit bias and black women’s hair..
Inspired by…
…the “lace of light” from Iris van Herpen. Her inspiration is drawn from the ongoing hybridization of nature and technology.
I just want to know how she builds structure seemingly out of thin air.
