PROFILE

My practice at its core is an act of forgiveness, redemption and healing. The healing of a child’s spirit. The redemption of a family’s legacy. And the forgiveness of those who have trespassed. These paintings expose the false promise of assimilation. This work rejects colonial hierarchy, discrimination, segregation, sexism, homophobia, colorism and it absolutely rejects white supremacy.
