Series V: Mixed Media

I. The Fine Line Series

This series explores "Hidden Pandemic Trauma." As both a mass death tragedy survivor & humanitarian, the pandemic shook every aspect of my personal identity. The only outward sign of the trauma consists of shaking hands, which I can easily hide. These works are created using this physical side effect to achieve inner calm whenever this occurs.

II. The Portraits of Self

This series explores "Self-Identity" in response to skin tone critique I have faced all my life. I have Native (Cherokee/Seminole), African & Irish heritage.  Assumed racial identities often force people like me into a single checked box to enforce a societal norm, often at the expense of our self-respect. 

I am what I am -- even when depicted in grayscale or color.
