About The Artwork
Queen Mother Idia As the Oba of the great ancient kingdom of Benin (present-day Nigeria) she ruled from 1504 to 1550, a lot can be said about this great African warrior. When I think of her standing for women’s rights at a time when women had none, wearing ivory and riding elephants into battle. She was a fierce warrior who fought relentlessly before and during her son’s reign. Instead of a crown, she displayed two medicine-filled vertical bars between her eyes that were one source of her metaphysical power. Threw Queen Idia strong leadership, she led her people too many victories and gave women a voice in the world.

United States
I am a second generation expressionist painter with a focus on creating paintings that embody movement, energy, and luminous light. My work puts cognitive thinking in the foreground, letting the viewer discover things along the way. I paint each artwork with a mix of expressionism and abstraction, with bold, colorful flowing lines. These works retell history, bringing back special people and places that have been misplaced, forgotten or unknown. I am interested in awakening cognitive thought, harnessing creative energy and to research the limits of universal thinking.
