About Me.

My work is inspired by my unique perspective as a BIPOC artist born and raised New Jersey. I enjoy exploring a variety of mediums and techniques to create pieces that are both thought-provoking and visually stunning. My portfolio includes original drawings and paintings that are perfect for collectors and art enthusiasts who appreciate unique pieces that have been created with care and attention to detail. As a professional painter, I understand the importance of creating pieces that are both beautiful and meaningful. For me, painting is about capturing the essence of the world around us, from its natural beauty to its emotional depth. Whether you're looking for a traditional painting or something more abstract, I'm here to bring your vision to life. With my extensive experience and dedication to my craft, you can trust that your painting will be of the highest quality. I have been creating vibrant and unique works of art since 2006. I love experimenting with bold color palettes and striking contrasts in a monotone setting. My art is a reflection of my innermost passions and my connection to the world around me. Each piece is special, one-of-a-kind, and meant to evoke a range of emotional responses. I juggle realism, abstraction, and surrealism to create pieces that not only appeal to the eye but to the heart and mind as well.
