ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by the many lessons from my father and my 4th grade teacher. Saint Maurice was the leader of the legendary Roman Theban Legion in the 3rd century, under Emperor Maximian. After refusing multiple orders to sacrifice to the Gods and refusing to suppress the revolt of the Bagandæ in Gaul he and his men were killed. In honor of his martydom Maurice later become the patron saint of the Holy Roman Empire and an altar dedicated to his memory was placed in the Vatican. Until the mid-thirteenth century St. Maurice was depicted as a white Roman solider in full battle dress.  Following the refurbishment of Magdeburg’s Cathedral in 1240-1250 after it was damaged by fire, he was portrayed as a Moor.

I am a visual artist and my primary mediums are painting and drawing. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art with a minor in Art History from the State University of New York at Buffalo in 2015. For most of my life I have been involved and interested in art. Since the age of four I have worked to further and hone and improve my skills as an artist. In 2010 I was selected to represent the Buffalo region in the National Associate for the Advancement of Colored People Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics (ACT-SO), a nationally recognized competition where I was selected for writing and the fine arts. Competing in ACT-SO turned out to be a life changing decision. It gave me a broader perspective on the possibilities that the visual arts have to offer. Since then I have participated in live painting events, curated an exhibition for my art, instructed art workshops, and developed a business to consumer strategy for the selling and promotion of my artwork. The theme of my artwork involves visually powerful images that attempt to force the viewer think about uncomfortable issues without deflecting their own feelings.
