Artist Statement

 This body of work stems from the exploration of the term “food apartheid.” The urban landscape paintings are grounded in issues around climate change, resilience, access to food, self-sustainability, and racial, social, and economic barriers. I draw from personal experiences as well as historical references that thread together painting, light, film, architecture, and sculpture.
