My works unfold from remembrances of childhood games and play and span multiple media, from digitally manipulated photography to sculpture, installations, drawings, video and prints.

Current Exhibitions
Before the Americas
Before the Americas is an art historical survey featuring 45 works by Afro-Latino, Caribbean, and African American artists. These artists confront racial and colonial constructs and have often been invisible within common art historical narratives.
The exhibit traces the significance of these artists through four themes: Genetic Memory, Migration, Invisibility, and Interconnectivity.
Note: In February 2026, this show will move to the University of Maryland Global campus.

Works in Progress
My recent exploratory series is a series of double sided collages mounted and displayed perpendicular to the wall in a 3D way. This body of work is mixed media on paper, where I layout, play, and use a lot of color and multilayered compositions.
I am also working on a quilt-like (grid) installation of this collage series.
