In most of my works my goal
as an artist is to take you on a pictorial journey of the African American
experience. Color, texture and visual rhythms characterize my unique style of
mixed media collage.  Although some of my
works have quilt in the title, they are not made of fabric.  They are paper story quilts.  People often think that I use fabric in my
art.  I use decorative papers, oil pastel
and fabric paint to create my work.


 


My art expresses the
reverent pride I have in my cultural heritage. 
I want the viewer to look at my art and see the elegance, strength, faith
and inner beauty of a people who have been devalued throughout history, yet
continued on with dignity and grace.
