Has art always been your passion...when did you notice it and what sparks your creative juices?
I've always loved art in général. It's my way to focus, channel my emotions, and express myself. I am inspired by the beauty around me, from nature to the marvelous black women.
If you got paid 3 million dollars for a commission job to create for a museum display of you work...What would your process of creating be? How long would it take you to present your final work? What would you create to be seen by the world in a museum?
How long would it take you to present your final work? What would you create to be seen by the world in the museum? Adding to my previous response, I would focus on that "darkness" that us black people were thought to hate and reveal it to be our strength. I believe that our heritage, our "blackness" makes us stronger, resilient, and beautiful.
What's the biggest compliment you have taken to heart and cherished?
It would be how people appreciate my work ethic. From employers, colleagues to now clients and collaborators. I do take it to heart.
What type of mindset does a full-time artist need to have and what does your day look like? Find your own lane or lanes. Do not limit yourself. Every day is different, and every day is a challenge. But stay consistent and true to your art.
Music is a big influence, what type of music do you listen to when creating, if you do? How does it assist in your creative process or does it?
Jazz, Old school RnB, and Soul. Music is very important, it sets the mood to create your piece.
Do you have one tip for other budding artists or even veteran artists, what would it be?
Being an artist is also a job, you have to be consistent, and work on your branding.
Do you offer commission work and how can others learn about collaborating with you? What are your contacts?
Yes, I do. You can email or dm me and we can go from there.
