Red and Blue Face Painting

I grew up in Kenya and now live in Chicago. My experiences of traveling around the world and having lived in diverse parts of the world, have been strong influences on my work. I call upon these influences to take form in the figures I paint, often simple in their presentation but complex in their story. In my work I try to get to that core value were we are all the same. I am a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts award, and my work is represented in many private and public collections. Additional work may be found on my website and
