Artist featured in a collection
This mixed media piece depicts two travelers journeying, almost at their destination, viewing in the distance with anticipation of what lies ahead. The warm glow of a setting sun reflects over mountains that beckons as home. The piece is complex with several layers incorporating Ankara cords and ankara fabric, acrylic paint and faux suede cords used to create facial expressions. The adhesive within the figures adds texture and is part of the dimensional quality to the piece.

I enjoy working with African fabrics and paints on wood and on canvas! I use bold images and colors, and I think this is a heavy influence from my African heritage and my Yoruba cultural influences which tend to be vibrant. My Influences & Motivations My cultural affiliations and influences are multi-dimensional as a Yoruba woman, an African, a black woman in America, a professional in human sciences, an LGBTQ Ally and as a mother. I consider my artwork as contemporary art and my expressions showcase diversity of backgrounds, human issues, self-identity and a reflection of the times we currently live. I hope to convey joy, pain, vulnerability, hope, love and resilience. I also express the struggle of selfidentify and I intentionally work to show representation in my images. This part of my work is important to me as I strongly believe that Art gives voice. I work to show interactions and expressions in ways that create appreciation for the diversity of humanity. This aspect is a major driver that keeps me going in my Art journey and influences the subject matters that I use. I feel satisfied with a piece when I feel it’s authenticity and that the message conveyed includes representation, reflection, honesty and an appreciation of life and human connection.
