About The Artwork
(Shipping delayed due to COVID19. Please send all inquiries to curator@saatchiart.com) Anything for Love. I felt that so I put the words in the painting. When you focus on the words, they dominate the meaning of the painting. However, when you backup and look at the full picture, the words become lost in the chaotic details, bright colors and various shapes. For those of us who are giving souls, kindhearted and empathetic in nature, there is a tendency to end up in situations where our love and care is taken for granted. After one gives away so much of themselves only to experience a lack of reciprocity and heartbreak, they must learn that to do anything for love is not healthy nor is it sustainable. Pulling back from the words on the canvas is symbolic of pulling away from the masochistic behavior of doing whatever it takes to be with someone whose love will never match your nurturing spirit and emotional intensity. In doing so, one can make the shift away from the strong desire to be with another and notice the beautiful life that was created just for them. The painting wraps around a 1.5 inch border creating a 3D effect when gazed at from either side. This allows the piece to be displayed with or without a frame. The colors are uniquely mixed, vibrant and playful. It’s easy to get lost in. As you look into the painting, you will notice different shapes taking form. Images will faintly emerge then disappear just as quickly as they came.

For me, creating art is a transformative practice that is necessary for self exploration and acceptance. I am primarily a self-taught artist and I paint because I find it to be enormously therapeutic and rewarding. As a black woman artist, I never want to be stereotyped or put into a box as I will always give myself the freedom to shift my focus between different mediums and subjects, real or abstract. I began oil painting my junior year in college after signing up to spend a semester in Aix-en-Provence, France at the Marchutz School. At that point, I had only dabbled with acrylic paint. I didn’t know the love that I would eventually develop for oil painting. The semester that I spent in Aix was life altering. I felt like a door had opened and I was becoming acquainted with my true self and purpose. At Marchutz, much of the formal studies that we did were based on how to see the world from a painter’s perspective with a particular focus on classical impressionism. Over the next decade I continued to keep my passion for oil painting close. I have taught myself new techniques, moved my studio across the country from Seattle to Chicago, shifted my focus between different genres, dabbled in NFTs, gained representation with the Martin Gallery, exhibited at The Other Art Fair, worked with galleries and clients internationally, received the 35 under 35 Rising Star award from Saatchi Art, elevated my business and made my art collectible by producing limited edition prints. As an artist, I believe I get to build my own path and provide a beautiful experience for others that is both healing, thought provoking.
