"Goddess Ma'at & her Feather of Truth" Painting

In recent years, I created a series of artworks based on ancient Egyptian hieroglyphic-alchemy. The works are a personal journey driven by a deep lifelong connection to Egypt and Eastern Africa, where a recent DNA test confirmed my lineage and ancestral memory. The artworks employ the African American science of "conjure”, to manifest esoteric symbolism of the hieroglyphs. I summon metaphysical archetypes in my works as I decode ancient hieroglyphs, reconstructing them into colorful, simplistic, or abstract 2-dimensional acrylic paintings and digital art. I intend to connect people to divine knowledge and inspire a higher spiritual awareness. Born in San Francisco, I received my BFA in The Netherlands at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and my MFA in digital arts in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University. I have a multi-career as a painter, a new media artist (VJ), and a visual effects compositor on feature films and TV. Both painting and digital art have been my two intertwining lifelong passions.
