About the artist
Member since the very beginning
I use art as a means of conveying my feelings about life. My paintings exemplify the emdodiment of personal experiences and the world
acknowledged. I grew up in a high crime and drug infested neighborhood of which I believe has had a profound impact on most of the images that I create.
I beleive that as an artist, we are continuously and visually seduced by the society that we live in. Movies, television, the media, or the internet can be very influential when I create an image.
Each painting starts off as an initial idea and then, in most cases, changes as it progresses. For most of the paintings, the computer plays an important role in the development process as far as color and or composition. The images used for the collages come from various sources such as african american historical books, newspapers, the internet or photos taken by myself.
