ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Change Comes Slowly is a mixed media painting about racism yesterday and today. White America holding people of color down by instituting laws that do not allow people to get ahead. White America inflicting their values on others. Adding texture to the surface of the canvas, then distressing with X-acto knives and nails is symbolic of the physical and emotional distress inflicted on black people. In developing a visual narrative, my paintings give a voice to generations of people who have been a part of systematic racism. The vintage tintype(photo) of 4 white men suggests a common goal of twiddling their hands when it comes to racial equality. The zipper represents an open and closed mind, with white flecks of paint - entering her thoughts.

My paintings are visual narratives on resilience and the fragility of human connections. Through my paintings I communicate what I believe is the essence of humanity. Resilience is a theme that reverberates throughout my work and life. Raised in Hartsdale, New York, I reside in Richmond, Virginia.
