I took this picture while on a bus tour of Tulsa in 2008. We were a little frustrated that the schedule did not allow us to get off the bus at some of the best Art Deco sites in and around the city, so we had to make do through the bus window. This image was a great surprise, as it combined a view of downtown with reflections of my busmates, as well as a large transparent image of one of them in the center that looks like Big Brother. Exhibited in Wilmington, DE in NAP 2009.

I made the fish print in art class. I made it by using a rubber fish, a brayer, black paint, and parchment paper. I put the paper down then put the fish on it. I squirted the paint on and I rolled it down. I put the paint on the fish and turned it over to makee the print. Then I did extra things like adding my own kitty stamp.

Chez Jean Pierre No. 2 is a watercolor in the artist's Palm Beach Memories Series. The focus of the piece is the emotion evoked on remembering a place as it used to exist. This restaurant was closed in response to the pandemic after two decades as a family run restaurant named for it chef-owner. Besides poignant memories, the artist is also portraying the vibrancy of the tropical palette as well as the evocative trade wind energy found in the Palm Beach of yesteryear. This series was started in 2010 and continues to evolve.

When I have a camera in my hand, I feel inspired to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. Even a single autumn leaf becomes an object of beauty.

Generational Trauma Unmasked - 6 - 11x14 inch canvas broads depicting the life of the dreadful mask worn by many Black Americans throughout the history of America. Each board shows the pain felt by the individual in direct relation to the events taking place around them, but the mask hides their true feelings and emotions for their survival. Throughout time the mask becomes worn and damaged and the younger generations don’t feel the need to hide their true selves. The last board reflects our hope for our future generations and the burning of the mask.
