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.

Works in Progress
My recent series features double-sided collages in 3D frames, viewable from both sides.
This approach expands my mixed media practice while building on past explorations of color, layers, and texture.
