I LOVE Wonder Woman. I grew up watching the Linda Carter’s Wonder Woman and wanted to be a bad ass too. After seeing Patty Jenkins’s Wonder Woman in Theaters, I knew I had to pattern my next Super Selfie after Wonder Woman

Who is that peeking over Mary Jane’s shoulder on BET’s “Being Mary Jane” – could it be “Selfie Joy”

This vibrant orange afro art as seen on BET’s Being Mary Jane is called Selfie Joy. A 24″x36″ fine art print on cold press rag paper is available on my Shopify

It’s Wine-O-Clock Art Mode!

I define my own identity and relish the opportunity to occupy the position of both insider and outsider rather than insider or outsider.
This is one of the many masks I wear.

Powerful Super Selfie

I found a 48″x48″ red and blue drip paint canvas in the garbage over the holidays and painted over it with layers of gesso, acrylic paint, paper, tissue, glitter, rhinestones, plastic bottle caps and silk petals over the course of two months.

She is black, blue and purple with a powerful smart mouth. She resists by persistently defying expectations.

What Are You Looking At?

What do you see through your eyes?
