I make the art I want to collect. My practice is rooted in archiving Black American life across generations, the family, the neighborhood, the body, the fashion, and treating ordinary moments as worthy of documentation and reverence.
I work primarily in mixed media, collage, and text, drawn to materials that carry memory not just through image but through object, texture, and trace. My work begins in personal archive and expands outward into collective Black American experience, guided by the belief that what has been lived deserves to be seen, preserved, and passed forward.
That same belief shapes everything else I do. As a curator and collector, I build rooms, literal and institutional, where work by living artists can be seen together instead of scattered and overlooked. As a fundraising and cultural strategy consultant, I build the structures, donor societies, campaigns, cultural partnerships, that let institutions do the same thing at scale: make what already has value undeniable to the people who can protect it.
Writing, collecting, consulting, making. Different rooms, same house. The materials change. The instinct doesn't.
