My work concerns itself with the complexities of the African American experience, both historically and in contemporary society. The work often revolves around a number of themes which include subjects as diverse as African American stereotypes, spiritual practices, social justice , meditative practices and abstraction based on my interpretation of the process by which images are formed in the subconscious. My most recent work focuses on the mystery surrounding “The Black Madonna” and references to their representations of new beginnings. Concurrently I’m producing a series which recounts little known stories associated with black saints, folk saints and pseudo-saints and a few scoundrels of the African Diaspora.
